Start to a Good Day

For the first time since before Finn was born, I woke up at home feeling refreshed.  It was the oddest sensation.  Last night he only woke up TWICE, once at midnight and once at 4:30am.  It was amazing.  I actually had to check on him to make sure he was ok, isn't that sad?  My child sleeps so I assume there  clearly must be something wrong.

And in addition to that, Zoey slept in!  She's normally always awake by 6am, she gets out of bed and comes into our room to pounce on me repeatedly until I take her downstairs to get chocolate milk.  Today I woke up at almost 7:00 and she was still asleep, it was the most peculiar sensation to wake up on my own.  I went downstairs, got coffee, and just sat there wondering what to do and being confused about how incredibly quiet the house was.  I swear it felt like I took a trip to Bizarro World.  

Anyway, here's a little video I took of Zoey this morning.  I should explain that for some odd reason Zoey calls a barrette a "fur cut".  I blame the Elmo book she sometimes likes to read.  In the book, Elmo goes to the barber and gets a fur cut (instead of a haircut).   Zoey got obsessed with the word for awhile and then somehow made the association of barrettes with furcuts.  The workings of toddler brains are a mystery.   But speaking of haircuts, I'm finally taking Zoey to get her mullet cut this afternoon!  I'll post pictures later.
