tired

[flea]

Another not-so-good night. We were good until 3:30, and then we were noisy at various intervals before getting up for the day at 6:30. No cups of milk in the night, which is good and a bad habit I wish we'd never fallen into. I am sure she was partly awake because of hunger, though. I was hungry, too, lying in bed wishing I was asleep. I find it very interesting that I can sleep through being hungry - like, tummy-growlingly hungry - because I am sure I would not have woken up except for the yelling. Best line of the night by Casper, after a long series of, "I wanna get out! I want my daddy!" was "I don't wanna sleep!"

She's developed a funny accent for some words, partly derived from Alexander, who has his own personal accent that is sort of Boston-y (nobody he knows has a strong Boston accent) and sort of like nothing I've ever heard. To Alexander, "park" is pronounced "poe-ahk." So now Casper says, "I wanna go to the powk." She also says "bew bew" for "boo boo." Yesterday she slipped and hit her chin on an armchair and bit her tongue, two little bleeding dots where her viciously sharp incisors hit it. Little vampire!

Nothing new catastrophic or bad has happened at work today. So the week is looking up.

Accents

My sister developed a strong Bahston accent as a small child, but my mom figured it was from Sesame street and other children's programming. To this day, I've never heard accents, really, but that's her explanation.

Now I'm waiting for why she has such a deep southern accent when she says "Beewwb"
