Dracul is cray cray

For reals, what's wrong with this kid? It's 4pm and her bffers came to visit. Check them out up there, chillin like villains.

Anyway, 4pm is wake up, roll outta bed time for Maya. No questions asked, nappy nap, sleepy time is ovah and it's time to be up. So her bffers comes over and she's wide eyed excited to meet her. Bffers doodoobombs, and Maya can't be left out and doodoobombs all up her back for me. Aiight baby girl, I'm all good with that since you've been constipated. So a little....or A LOT of dookie up your butt and up the front is allllllright with me. Anyway, bffers and her momma left around 5pm and Maya decides that it's mimi's time. Nope, you can't go to sleep. I'm the boss of your sleepy time and you can't sleep. So we get in the sink for a nice lukewarm bath. She's chillin, playing and kicking. It's hard to tackle a sleeping baby without Martin. He was asleep himself. So I'm over here, talking to her, playing with her, moving around, eating with one hand and just doing whatever the hell I can to keep her awake all while Maya is playing peekaboo with her eyelids. Daddy finally gets up and helps me. Woooh, thank goodness because I was running out of ideas. So here we go, fight fight fight. At around 6pm, I wanted to give up. I felt so bad to see her like a lump of log, a blob, just, THERE. I told Martin I didn't want to suffer through the night but it was hard to figure out ideas to keep her awake and I was tired myself. He reminded me that it's been working and that if I'm willing to quit, i have to be willing to be awake at all hours of the night. So I decided I'd quit, but before I'd quit, I'd go take a nap so I can get ready for the battle. Well, my parents show up and I make them help me keep her up. They wanted to just let her sleep but I forced them to help me and they did. Here and there, my mom would tell me I was mean and would try and let her fall asleep and I'd put my foot down and say NO MOM, WAKE HER UP! So my mom would give me the stink eye and then tickle the baby to keep her awake. Why does my mom give me the stink eye? I am doing what works for us! Shooooo, she doesn't have to stay up all night, I do. Anyway, it worked. They left around 730pm so we just had about 30 minutes to keep her up. Finally 750 rolls around and we are like crazed maniacs trying to get ready to put her down because, let's be honest, we both feel bad. So I warm up her bottle, change her diaper, death swaddle her, and give her, her bottle. Guess what this crazy kid does? She stays awake!! It's 830 and she's up just cooing and calling on us. Right now, at 853, she just screamed and cried. What the hell is wrong with you Maya? First you were dying to sleep, now you don't want to even consider it. It's alright homie, I know I won. Stay awake! All that means is that you sleep longer at night. Or so I hope you do.

Anyway, I'm going to hit the hay. Like I said, I don't know how long this love affair with night sleep will last with my child. Obviously she's cccuuuuuhuuuuraaaazy if she's still awake.

Gotta love her. Peace in yo hood, and a moment of silence!
