What Is Wrong With My Parents?

Please help. They've dressed me in something ridiculous. Save me!


Evie Lu is going through some kind of growth spurt/attitude shift that has Kaia and I scratching our heads. Evangeline seems to be self weaning and expressing her displeasure with pouting and crying. (Didn't I warn you about pastor's kids? They are always trouble.) The pouting and crying aren't so bad since we know all kids go through this, but her latest trick is the 4am, "Hey pay attention to me!"

What does she want at 4am? Heck if I know, but for the last three days Evie Lu has decided to wake us to hang out. I've tried to teach her the musician's rule of waking up which explicitly states you don't really get up until the sun has sufficiently warmed the earth, but to no avail. The 4am wake-up could be payback for dressing her in outfits we think are adorable or funny and parading Evie Lu around.

Now that sounds like something my kid would do.

Yes dad, it has lambs on it and some floppy thing on my head. Are we done?

I think that Evie has been talking with Olivia about how to wake up the adults in the middle of the night!! We must be careful or these babies will join forces and try to take over the world...at least until they get too hungry or their diapers need to be changed!!

I think my little Katie is in on the game, too! I have spent most of the last few nights sleeping with a pillow around my ears so I don't cave in and give her a 4 am chowtime - pediatrician's orders :) As she said, "if someone came in and snuggled me and caressed me and fed me at 4 am, I'd keep waking up, too!"
