9:47pm
Emily woke up and cried for awhile, becoming more and more distressed. She’s teething and so we went to get her some medicine. After she took it she was convinced she needed to eat yogurt. We got her a bowl made up while she chatted wildly and mimicked words with great excitement like I’ve never heard. Once the yogurt was in front of her at the table (which she specified by signing with great enthusiasm) she said she wanted to draw. Then she had a mini meltdown and realized what she actually wanted was to go to bed. She really really wanted to go to bed.

So here we are at 9:53. Emily is back in bed, we are hopefully going to bed soon, and maybe the Tylenol will work its magic and we will all sleep for seven hours.

It was fun to see Emily again for a few minutes tonight and I wanted to remember her giddy exhausted laugh and slightly delusional thinking – it is a wonderful first and so incredibly adorable.
