"Mommy!" she called. "I'm doing it just like Cinderella!"
Hmmmm . . . Do you think her mother could use this new motivation to get her to pick up her toys as well? We might be on to something here.

Cinderella motivation
Elizabeth spilled her glass of juice today. So, I threw her a towel so she could clean it up. She began only halfheartedly, distracted by something her brother was doing. Then all of a sudden her eyes lit up, she got down on her hands and knees and started really scrubbing.
"Mommy!" she called. "I'm doing it just like Cinderella!"

too funny:)
Cute!
Also, I kept meaning to comment on your little boy and his sleeping. Still in the same boat here. Since he rendered me pretty sleepless even in the womb, I think I'm going on about 18 months of interupted sleep. But, somehow I'm used to it. THe other I was feeling really chipper because Henry had slept a shocking stretch of four hours! Usually three is his limit. ;)
Wish we would have gotten a King bed like Lillian mentioned. He was with us 'full-time' for the first six months, and even though he was tiny it was a squeeze for all of us. Now he just joins us after his 3rd or 4th wake-up and sleeps a final hour or two. It's fun to wake up to that little face.
Anyway, from one tired mom to another....cheers! :)
Jill,
I've been wondering if you were still nursing Henry on the cold floor at night. Isn't it great when you can get 3-4 hours in at once. I'm kind of used to it, too. But, about once a week the fatigue catches up with me and I get frustrated I think because I'm just physically and mentally exhausted.
