Here is the scene. It’s Thursday evening. We are expecting a nice quiet night, with Ella asleep early, as she only slept for a bit during the day — surely once we get her to sleep all will be fine? Hah. Her new trick is to somehow sense when we leave the flat; she immediately stops crying and goes for a nap1 only to wakeup the moment we step back inside. It can bring you to tears. Well, bring me to tears at least. So our planned easy evening has turned out to be a fair bit harder than we would like. And I look at the clock, see 22:20, and think “Where did the evening go?!”
On the upside, we so don’t want to wake her up now that dishes just have to wait until tomorrow. No sense clanging them about when she is asleep now, and I’m going to bed while I still can.
- Except for this morning, when she decided that she had enough of our morning coffee ritual (or maybe the music finally got to her) and screamed persistently and loudly for a full minute, at which point I bolted for the door before I was lynched by the other patrons. [↩]
