Peter and I stayed up late Tuesday night to watch Election results.  Turns out we shouldn’t have bothered.  With the MN governor’s race headed for recount, we won’t know for weeks what’s going to happen.  Besides, as Peter put it, “I’m just too old to stay up ’till 2am anymore.”  Sad, but true.

Early this morning we were treated to a very enthusiastic rendition of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star coming from Alethea’s room at 2:30am, and 3:30am AND 4:30am.  While mildly impressed that my child can carry a recognizable tune, I think I must have a discussion with her about appropriate concert times.

I’ve skipped my afternoon nap and stayed up late into the evening a few days this week to try and get the stenciling done in Alethea’s big girl room.  I’m almost there (just some touch-ups left), but I didn’t make my original goal, which was to have Alethea moved into her room by the end of October, nor am I going to make my second goal which was to have her moved in by today, which is two months until Baby Bob’s due date.  New plan: finish painting/clean up today and move her crib into the room tomorrow.

Oh, and I AM going to take a nap this afternoon.
