Good baby, she's letting momma and daddy sleep after a late night out. How sweet!
9:00 a.m. - roll over again. !!**
Something is wrong!! It's 9:00! She's usually up before 7:00!
Mom leaps out of bed, throws glasses on face, and races to her room. Dad bounds up to see what is going on.
Bed empty. Room empty.

Go downstairs - find Ains pacing the floor in the living room. She immediately bursts into non-stop chatter without pausing to breathe for several minutes:
"oh! Mommy!!! I didn't know you was here! oh! I woke up and I didn't know you was here. I thinked my friend [babysitter from night before] was still sleeping. I didn't want to wake her up. I came downstairs all by myself. I looked around. I walked over here and over here and over there. I was a little bit scared, but I came down here. I woke up Jake. He went upstairs to look for you but he came back downstairs. I knocked on your door with my finger. But you weren't there! I heard a strange noise. I was a little bit scared, but... I played a little bit. I did it all by myself."
Aw, what a sweet girl indeed! I can only imagine how scared she might have been, but it sounds like she was such a brave girl!

ReplyDeleteGood boy, Jake- taking care of sis. I'll bet he went upstairs to find you, thought "hell, those folks are gonna be *misery* if we wake them up" and then just resigned to keep an eye on Ains all himself. :)
