Wake up call

You know what's fun?

Waking at 2 a.m. to the shrill cries of your two-year-old, rushing upstairs to figure out what's wrong, and finding said two-year-old shivering in her bed that is VERY, VERY wet. I do not know how this happened, but Zoey managed to twist her body around in her diaper last night, rendering it completely useless.

So there we were, in the middle of the night, Zoey hoping this was her chance to get up for the day ("Hi Mama! All done! Hot milk?") while I fumbled in the semi-dark for a clean set of sheets while trying to convince her that it was STILL the middle of the night.

45 minutes later, after a clean set of jammies and sheets, a cup of "hot milk", and a discussion about the fact that sheets with monkeys on them are NOT, in and of themselves, scary...we were settled back in for the rest of the night.
