I am not sure why this photo came up sideways-and I am not tech-savvy enough to fix it. Anyway, Alette is rarely napping these days. I took this picture on her 4th birthday, which may be the last time she actually napped. Yes, it is in the hallway. Despite her lack of napping, Alette still wakes up at crazy-early hours. To try and alleviate the problem of having her in our room way too early, I bought her a digital clock and told her she is not allowed to come into our room until the first number was a 7. She may turn on her light and read when the first number is 6. Yesterday I stumbled down the hall to use the bathroom, only to be greeted by a wide awake and enthusiastic, energetic smile and hug. Then she asked 'mommy, what am I supposed to do when the first number is 5?' I felt like I had to tell her to go back to bed but it was pretty obvious that sleeping wasn't going to happen. I can understand waking up early, but to wake up early and be bouncing around and happy is truly the domain of childhood.
