Too good to be true
It was too much to ask.
Katie went down for a nap while Jamie was watching her pre-nap Blue's Clues. The fact that things were going well pretty much guaranteed Jamie wasn't going to do much sleeping during her "nap".
When I put Jamie in bed, she was rolling and wiggling and kicking and talking and banging on the wall. Not good signs. I left, pulling the door shut behind me and there was no screaming. Didn't hear much when I went back to the living room. At this point, I turned the tv on, so she may have been talking to her buddies but I couldn't hear it. This is not a problem, sometimes it leads to sleep, sometimes not, but at least it buys me an hour of peace.
Then I heard a crash. More like a thump or a bang.
Then the baby started making noise.
I got Katie out of the crib, and opened Jamie's door. There she was, standing at the end of her bed, and as soon as she saw me she started crying. I asked her what happened, and she said she fell. Then I asked her if she had been jumping on the bed, and she said yes. (This is sometimes misleading. Sometimes she says what youwant to hear.) I stuffed her back in bed, kissed her ouchie, haven't heard a peep since.
Even better, the baby allowed me to nurse her back to sleep!
