Waking the beast

My little Reesers loves LOVES her sleep.  You don't have to ask the girl twice to take a nap or go to bed (when she's ready).  Anyway, she starts afternoon preschool (2 days a week) later this month so I haven't been pushing the naps - if she wants one, great.....if not, fine by me.  On days she does though, they tend to be later and later in the afternoon....fine and dandy until she's like a crack addict at 9pm because she slept so late in the day.  So I wake her up, usually no later than 4pm.....even if she just fell asleep 30 minutes prior.  Yesterday I filmed it so I had another excuse to play around with my Vintagio app.  A couple notes:   Yes, she naps in our bed.  Yes, she sucks her thumb.  I could care less about the first, but working on correcting the second.  Her beloved blanket (which goes hand in hand with the thumb sucking) has been relegated to sleep time only and sometime in the near future will be sent off in a farewell party to hopefully help kick this habit to the curb.  If anyone out there has any tips or advice, sent it my way!

So fun. Every morning when I wake Mary Clare I will pretend it is really as fun as that video was.
