We've Learned a New Trick

Has anyone ever seen a cat take a bath? (lick paw, lick paw, wipe face, lick paw, wipe face, etc...) Now imagine, Bailey, doing the same thing...

That's right, Bailey has found her tongue and just LOVES it. She will sit there in your lap and repeatedly stick her tongue out at you
(or anything else that gets in the way). And because she likes her hands so much, she decided to try putting the two together. If I can ever get some video of this, I'll be sure to post it because it is funny. Bailey's eyes will get big, the tongue starts moving, and then then hands come up. Once she has a thorough soak, Bailey then proceeds to wipe these hands on her face and clothes.

Rinse, lather, and repeat...

By the way, does anyone out there remember what sleep is? Please drop Tammie and me a line and let us know (we oh so miss it...).

Last night was our first time to move Bailey strictly to her nursery for the entire night (well, actually her bassinet was sitting in the doorway of the nursery...so we could see her...every time we go up...the many times we go up during the night...sleep...).

Everything went fine, if you don't count the fact that Bailey slept until 4 in the morning, then was up for the REST OF THE DAY! No nap, nothing! I am actually lucky in the fact that I have to go to work. I can actually get a nap in (come on, you don't think I actually teach all day...do you?). Tammie, unfortunately, gets no such reprieve. If Bailey is up, so is she. I know that she would appreciate some words of encouragement as we work on getting Bailey to (hopefully) sleep a little longer at night (Erin, this "Miracle Blanket" better work!).

Well wishes to everyone and stay safe.

I'm telling you...burrito wrap is the way to go! It has to be really tight! I heard you may come up on Friday...bring a stretchy-type blanket and I will show you! Bring two cause there is another trick as well. Other than that...put her in the swing so you may be able to sleep a bit during the day - make sure you strap her in! Sara M.
