Dear Lili,
You have woken up for good at 5:15AM every morning for the last two weeks. The fact I no longer drink caffeine and that the moon is always still visible in the sky seems to make this feel extra cruel.
Last night, after another long restless night of you not sleeping…Dad up at least twice. Me up three times. Me up with you from 2-3:45AM and up for good with you by 5:15AM. I asked you Lili with such earnestness why on earth you never, never, never, ever like to sleep. Why you have never one slept through the night?
With a sugary sweet smile and blinking long eyelashes you paused and then said,
“Because Mom…I’m just a little wake up girl!”
YUP. Kind of really sums it up. You really are this.
And we still love you.

Not to be all pushing the second child thing, but Olivia started sleeping through the night the day we put Beckett in her room- at 3.5. I mean, she occasionally did before then, but not with anywhere near the same consistency. Now she sleeps through his crib parties, his crying, everything. Remains a mystery, but one I happily accept.
