  • Excuse Me, Do You Have a Staring Problem?

    by Mama Platypus

    So two nights ago we fed Baby Platypus around 7:30ish and after a bath and some play time she fell asleep around 10ish. We gave her her final bottle at 11:30 while she was still asleep. I passed out at 1ish beside her. Baby Platypus and I sleep on the living room floor on top of a tempurpedic mattress that's only a few inches thick. We don't have air conditioning setup in the bedroom so she and I just hang out in the living room most of the time.

    So anyways at 3am I hear "Eh Eh Eh Eh...Eh..." *sigh* This is usually her I'm-semi-awake-but-I-will-be-fully-awake-if-you-don't-unswaddle-my-arms whining. So I unswaddle her arms and she falls back asleep right away. About 15 minutes later I hear her whining again and her eyes are closed but she'll turn her head left....and then right...and the left...and the right....so I know she's semi awake again so I reswaddle her arms and she falls back asleep. At aroudn 4ish I hear it again, "Eh eh eh..." I unswaddle her and go back to sleep.

    At 5am I hear cooing. I turn my head to look left and I see these 2 beady lil eyes blink back at me in the dark. 

    "Excuse me, do you have a staring problem?"

    She started grinning from cheek to cheek and kicking her legs. Our faces were literally like a foot away from each other.  Oh what a great way to wake up in the morning even if it was 5am. Unlike her usual tears which I translate to, "OH MY GOD! ANOTHER DAY WITH THESE GOD FORSAKEN PEOPLE AS MY PARENTS!"

    Thank you Baby Platypus. You made mommy's day.

    Before when she was sick she was waking up in the middle of the night so I'd throw her in her swing and then I'd pass out. In the mornings she would have these lil presents for me.
