Small Victories

My daughter is 20 months old her name is Harper. She is beautiful, intelligent, and can climb like a spider monkey. She also never sleeps.
This  is probably my fault, though I'm not sure what I could have done to prevent it. I didn't sleep until I was 16 and she wont either at this rate. She seldom goes to sleep before 11pm and only takes a short nap during the day. I think she's afraid she's going to miss something, if only she knew that the only things that happen after she goes to sleep are all night infomercials and our noisy neighbors who make chop sushi ingredients until 1am.

I think were all afraid that were missing something, at least I have been. Like there is some great party going on, but you missed out on the invitation. Really what we mostly miss is the real like version of all night infomercials...thankfully.

I am getting to write this right now because she decided that sleep was better than watching the Magnificent Seven with her dad. So she gets good to rest and feel peachy the rest of the day, and I get to watch Yul Brenner and Steve McQueen shoot things and serve up more one liners than any two James Bond movies you care to mention. Small Victory, yes, but I'll take anything in the win column.
