Waking up is hard to do

(when reading the post title you should actually sing it to the tune of Neil Sadaka's "Breaking up is hard to do")

Yesterday we had new carpet installed in our apartment.  There was a cat living here before us and some areas reeked even though the carpets had been cleaned twice.  Anyway, because of the carpet installation Pippa had a very short nap in the late morning.  We tried to get her to nap again later in the day but she wasn't having it.  She finally crashed on the car ride home from Home Depot.  She was out hard.  She barely even stirred as T pulled her out of the car seat.

We couldn't let her sleep more (she'd been asleep for about 15 minutes) because it was 5:00 p.m. and we usually put her to bed at 7:00 p.m.  So we had to wake her up.

I love that she's super drowsy and falling back asleep until she realizes that she hears "babies" (aka kids) outside (yes, it was warm enough we had the balcony door open).

It's funny because "baby" is always the first thing she signs when she wakes up.  If we go in to her room to get her after a nap or in the morning if she doesn't sign baby right when we walk in there is a chance of getting her back to sleep.  But if she signs "baby" it always means she is up for good.
