What is it about 2:05am that babies want to see so badly? If you can answer that, can you tell me if 2:47, 3:25, 3:55, 4:47 and 5:36 hold the same appeal? I love my daughter dearly and do want to spend as much time as possible with her, but not when she is just a shadowy spot in the middle of her crib in the middle of the night.
I remember as a young girl going to my first sleepovers. We always found it such an exciting challenge to stay up all night. It was great until the pain of sleep deprivation hit you like a semi truck the next day. The nice part was that we could blissfully sleep through much of the next day to make up for it. In college, all-nighters were more of a necessity than a joy. When midterms or finals were piling up, it seemed there was no choice but to stay up all night cramming or writing papers. No blissful sleeping the next day there, though. We would have to sleepily slog through a three hour final AND try to be clever enough to answer the questions correctly! Maybe Lily is training for her first sleepovers or college cram sessions a bit early!
Now if I could just get her to take daytime naps longer than 20 minutes...
