Ahhh. That's what my first thought was this morning when I woke, after sleeping 8 hours straight, uninterrupted. After a rough couple of weeks, with Payton not sleeping well b/c she had a cold, then trying to get her back onto a schedule during her recovery, last night was the first night in what seemed like forever, that she slept without waking up at least once. For the last week at least, she would wake up once, we'd go in and cuddle with her, she'd fall asleep on one of us, and then she'd be good for the rest of the night. We were planning on breaking that habit last night, but maybe she sensed it b/c she didn't wake up once. It was getting pretty tough to be exhausted and then deal with her morning tantrums. I could definitely tell the difference in both of us this morning, she wasn't as cranky, and when she was, I was ready to deal with it calmly. I'm hoping this is the start of her being the awesome sleeper she was before she got that horrible cold.
Since Payton does so many things lately that make us laugh, i've decided to add a "Payton moment" to the end of my posts. This mornings moment was when I was washing dishes and heard "mom, mommy, mom!" I turned around and she was standing at the recycling bin making her fish face and pointing to the empty goldfish carton in the bin. I love that she knew to do the fish face if she wanted fish - makes sense i guess!!
