a link!

jenn sent this to me, and it is so right-on that i felt very compelled to share. we don't have the 4.5 -year-old, but we do have the bedsharing "baby," who while is no longer nursing, still manages to poke our eyes out with her feet. better yet, she wakes herself when she kicks us and proceeds to wail, and yell at us to not touch her. and, we have a cat. while evie does not wake us at 5am, she does manage to keep siri from falling asleep every night by meowing in our bedroom during the lights out portion of the nighttime routine. enjoy!
