Cutie Patootie

Eva is so precious. Lately she has been sleeping with 3 items in her crib: Pooh, a cat and her singing seahorse we named Sally OR ladybug pillow, a cat and Sally. Well to back up a bit, Eva has slept with us a couple times over the past week due to her Rotavirus. She is the kind of girl who likes to make preparations so when we would come to get her from her crib in the night she would grab Pooh and her blanket, reach high to us and say, "Mommy."

Tonight I went to check on her after a 1/2 hour of whining. As soon as she saw me standing over her crib she started to reach around for toys that she wanted to "bring with her". She made sure to give me a play by play as she picked up each one, then dropped one, picked up while dropping another...

"Sally." "Pillow." "Cat." "Pillow." "Cat." "Sally." A few more rounds of that and then finally having them all scooped in her arms tried to reach up for me with all her toys in hand. Unfortunately we weren't going to be bringing her toys - as I was only there to give her a drink and a snuggle. She didn't seem to mind when I set them all back in her crib so she would want to get back in there when it was time.

ANOTHER CUTE STORY! This afternoon after checking on her several times, when I laid her down for the last time she put her head on her pillow and as I was closing the door she picked up her head and waved to me, "Buh-bye". It was so sweet. And she finally took a nap :).
