Last night, I tried something new with Nyla at bedtime. Usually we put her to sleep with a bottle then transfer her to her crib. Now that homegirl is pushing 25 pounds, she's getting a little heavy to transfer down to her mattress. Last night when she finished her bottled, she wasn't all the way asleep; she just had drowsy eyes and was mumbling to herself. So I thought to myself, "Okay Elizabeth, let's put her in her crib and just lay down on the bed in the room." I turned on her projector and put her in her crib. She cried a little bit, but I kept my cool and just relaxed on the bed that's in her room. She realized that I was still in the room and calmed down and started to watch the projection. And then, our WWE star emerged.
All of a sudden, she was rolling all over her crib. Nyla went from being perfectly still to this roly-poly of an animal. She was turning over onto her back and putting her toes on the top rail of the crib. She would drop them, then furiously roll to the other side and stand up and start to bounce in her crib. Side to side, she was making her way all the way around her crib, pushing her mattress, pulling at the bumpers, sitting up on her knees then falling backwards and bouncing on her back. The whole time she was talking talking talking! She was just too funny.
I think when she gets into a real bed, we're going to have to make it a wrestling ring. Watch out, world! SummerSlam 2031 is going to be a good one! :)
