Sleep - Another Milestone

Last night, and tonight, putting Ellis to bed was good.

I bring her into the room. I sit down on a chair and hold her, facing me.

I turn on the music from the baby monitor.

In about 10 minutes, she dozes off on my chest.

I flip her around, stand up and walk to her crib.

I put her down.

Usually by the time I put her down she's very sleepy, so she flips over onto her tummy and goes straight to sleep. If she's not sleepy enough, she will flip and stand with arms raised toward me, crying to be carried.

Last night and tonight:

I put her down.

She flips over, stands up in her crib, arms outstretched.

I give her a hug and kiss(es).

I step away and wave. She waves back.

I say "Bye". Ellis says "Bye".

I say "Muah!" (flying kiss). She does the same.

I walk toward the door.

I tell her "Night-night" and "Sweet dreams and sleep well. Mummy will see you in the morning".

She's still standing in her crib, looking at me.

I walk out, peek inside and do a last wave. She waves again.

I shut the door behind me. No sound.

She goes to sleep. On her own.

I'm so proud of my little girl :)

So I went to pick her up from her cot in the morning and she looked like this. I don't know what she did to her PJ sleeve....

Unfruitful photo day.

The girl is sick....a very drippy nose, sleepy and a little cranky.

But still lots of energy.

Here she is running right at me - she kept wanting to be carried.

Missed wedding and some gongfu like moves

We were supposed to attend one of my old friends, Ros' wedding today.

I was all ready to leave (dressed, make up on etc - even managed to shower without Ellis wreaking major havoc - basically had to keep her locked in the toilet with me.)

But when I went to change Ellis into her going out outfit she felt kind of warm. The thermometer registered a low grade fever. Coupled with the fact that she's having a mild cough/H1N1/crowd at the wedding, I decided we had to give it a miss.

Managed to get her to nap instead and when she woke the fever had subsided and she was much more cheerful (cranky in the morning)

I decided she could have a "treat" since she was sick. I let her go through my toiletries drawer.

It's one of her favourite things to do but I don't allow it unless I'm pretty desperate to keep her occupied. She knows this so whenever she gets the chance (like when I forget to shut the room door and I'm not looking), she'll run in and dig out the contents of the drawer. (cotton buds strewn all over the floor, stacks of pantyliners emptied from boxes, torn up cotton pads, spilled bottles of shampoo, etc - you get why I don't like it much)

Pic below is quite "calm" compared to the usual because I've already removed some items. Although she's quite a samseng she is also turning out to be a bit of a girly-girl. Besides shoes, she loves carrying a paper bag on her arm and now the toiletries. This morning as I was putting on my makeup she got her hands on a bottle of sunscreen from the drawer and smeared some on her face - just like mommy!
