Tonight we had some good friends over for dinner and it was very nice to just relax and eat tasty food (grilled Italian sausage, cheese & broccoli rice, mixed vegetables, wine, cookies & cream cake) and have wonderful conversation with people.

Because of that, the kids didn’t go to bed until 10:30, which was no big deal since I had anticipated that and gave Breanna a later-than-normal nap so she would be okay to stay up a bit. When I went into the bedroom to put her down, she was very quick to drift off, and I gently rolled her off of me and onto the mattress. Usually when I do that, I get her right over on her stomach since she’s like me and sleeps best that way. Sometimes she’ll stay flat like that, other times she’ll turn a bit so her head faces the other way. Either way, she rarely stirs much.

For some reason when I did it tonight, she immediately pushed herself up into a push-up position, looked around (though her eyes were closed), stiffened up, shouted, “Where penguins?!” and then flopped straight down and went to sleep.

It’s like animated movie Tourette’s. I guess tomorrow morning’s movie will be Happy Feet.
