Thinking in theme songs

The closest thing I got to a video of Ashley loving her card last night.

Today was such a simple day. In the morning, Ashley and I packed. We got, I think, all my and her clothes, and almost all of Jake’s. I didn’t get around to picking out some shirts for him to wear. Other than that, we are 1/3 packed, according to my list.

We found the ‘normal’ pacifiers while cleaning in the bedroom today, so Ashley was testing that out for a while. She mostly just chews on it like it is a random toy, which is cute. But it was a new ‘toy’ so she could occasionally throw whatever she was holding away and grab it. Although once, she placed her current toy in a gift box where all the bows from last night’s presents are, it looks so much like she purposely did it. Made me almost cry, her first attempt at being tidy!

This afternoon, Ashley was SO SNUGGLY. She would just sit calmly either on my lap or next to me, leaning on me, and it was just… love. Every so often she’d jump up to grab a new toy but then she’d settle back in, snuggle up and babble to her toy.

I really really don’t want to be woken every hour tonight. Having Ash sleep in the bed with me really hurts my leg joints, because her being there restricts my rolling onto my back or my other side, so I’m stuck and it hurts, even with a pillow between my legs. I just want to have a decent night’s sleep. I know that won’t happen for years, but a girl can dream…
