snapshot: naptime

10Nov09

Overheard from the living room:

“Dada? DADA! DADA seeping? Shhh, Dada seeping. DADA! DADA! Wake up! Wake up, DADA!”

I hear indistinct mumbling, then “Hi Maddie, what’s up?”

“Dada, you SEEPING?”

“I was, yeah,” he says, laughing a bit.

“WAKE UP!” I can see this in my mind and know from experience that she’s probably about two inches from his face.

“Okay, okay,” I hear him mumble.

Five minutes later I head into the room, where all is quiet. Madeline is sitting in front of the couch; Jimmy is asleep, covered with her silky blanket.

“Shhh,” she tells me. “Dada seeping.”

    This happens to Hubby and I all the time. Wait until she starts trying to pull your eyelids open while saying “Wake now?” Argh! It’s cute, but yet…not.
