Junebug is a lighter sleeper than any baby I've ever shared a room with, so I kicked her out today. No one needs us BOTH up at 5:45 a.m. each day. She's now sharing a room with Chickadee.
What bedtime sounded like tonight:
Junebug: Blahblahblahblah, BLAH BLAH BLAH.
Chickadee: SHHHHHHHHH!!!
Junebug: gagagagagalalalalalabababbaaaba
Chickadee: SSSSHHHHHHHH!!
(These are not gentle, hush-little-baby shushes we've got going on here. They are more the "you better stop talking in the middle of Father's homily!" variety.)
Junebug: lalalala, blahblahblah, LOUD SQUEAL!!!!!
Chickadee: JUNEBUG, BE QUIET NOW. NIGHT NIGHT. NO BED BUGS! GO TO SLEEP!!!!!
About 2 minutes later, Chickadee was out. Junebug sang for at least another fifteen....
