so.tired.

i have never been a big coffee drinker. in fact, too much caffeine makes me extremely anxious, jittery, and occaisionally results in insomnia or cold sweats. yuck. but admittedly, over the past six months or so i have come to cherish my morning cuppa. and this morning especially.

putting aubrey to bed last night was a relatively minor event. pete gave her a bottle, and when he put her down she fussed for a minute. but once he left the room she went silent, and then resorted to singing herself lullabies for ten minutes before drifting off. phew! i was prepared for a battle.

so that doesn't explain why i'm tired now, does it? let's just say, it's been one of the THOSE mornings. for starters, cabot woke us up at 4am, puking up bits of plastic. ??? the commotion caused aubrey to stir (she's an uber light sleeper). having been jolted out of my sleep and sent scurrying in the dark to find the paper towels, i was pretty much totally awake and unable to fall back to sleep. i tried, believe me. but aubrey started fussing at 5am, and then cabot puked again, and then...the alarm went off. and that's pretty much how the morning went.

we think cabot chewed up an electrical outlet cover that was removed by the electricians last week and haphazardly placed on top of a cardboard box that had suspcious dog nibbles on one corner. ew. very gross and some what alarming.

i don't think i mentioned that aubrey said "banana" twice yesterday at school. we tried to get her to replicate it at home last night by showing her a banana, but all she wanted to do was chew on it. ger.
