Nadia was up in the living room at 2 am screaming her head off for me. I was in the middle of nursing Dawson, so I nudged David to go see about her. She threw a fit for me again, so David let the two year old dictate the sequence of events and came to get me. Momma was not happy!
I went in the living room to pick her up and realized she was SOAKING wet. I brought her into the bathroom to sit her on the potty and went to get her some dry pajamas. She began screaming and crying. This was BAD since Dawson sleeps in a bed in our room. I lifted her off the potty and tried to quiet her quickly. Of course, this did not work, so she got a few swats from Momma for not listening. She began whispering in a hurry.
I brought her into the living room, and went to her room for a diaper and PJ's. I noticed her bed was soaking wet as well, so I had to change sheets in addition to changing Nadia.
I rocked her for a minute or two in the rocker, but it's broken and doesn't rock. We moved onto the stool where I just rocked her back and forth myself. I started checking my email (the stools are in front of my computer) and I got distracted and stopped rocking her. She picked up her head and said, "Momma, your rocker needs batteries!" I busted out laughing...that girl is so funny.
Another story from McAlister's last night that I forgot to mention: David handed her the pickle spear that came with his sandwich. She held it up and said, "Wook. The moon." She held it up, and sure enough, the pickle resembled a crescent moon! I'm pretty sure this means that our daughter is a genius. That seems like some serious higher order thinking to me!
Last night David, Kiki and I went to UL's homecoming game. My parents came to our house to baby sit the little ones (Thanks, Mom and Dad!) and Baylor is still at Raymond's, so we had some grown-up time. It was so much fun. It was UL's 1000th game in the history of the university, and Tyrell Fenroy became the 7th individual in college football history to run more than 1000 yards for four years in a row. (This is all of college football in the nation, not just at UL) They actually stopped the game and had us all cheer when it happened! On top of all of that, they won with a score of 49 to 20. It was really fun.
Well, it's 2:44 am, and I'm going back to bed. Hopefully I can sleep at least three hours before Dawson decides he's hungry again.
I'm ready for Baylor to come back home. I miss that little man!

I have used Nadia's comments as proof of Maria Montessori's belief in the absorbent mind and the wonders of the child! What a fun age. We still read regularly and enjoy hearing about the daily life of a family of 5!
