Da-co

Sara loves to call Dan "Da-co" for some reason. It's really cute though. It's her pet name for him and we're big on pet names around here. Everyone calls Brennan "Moose" more often than we use his real name.

Tonight even though Dan was dead tired from work and getting up with Brennan at 5:45 a.m. he built her train tracks in her room at her insistence. Then he read her some books while I went on a walk.

Sara herself has been super cranky lately. She's been getting up every morning at 3 a.m. with Brennan. His cry wakes her up. She gets up to use the bathroom and get something to eat. It takes her a while to get back to sleep so I know she's losing out on sleep. Sometimes we all feel like we're in a daze here and we all get cranky.

I've been singing her songs before bed to give her a little extra individual attention. I feel bad that I don't have the time to read to her that I once did. She has been requesting that I sing Christmas songs, so tonight I sang, "Jingle Bells", "Rudolph", and "We wish you a Merry Christmas". She listens intently. I'm sure she remembers that I used to sing those to her a lot when she was little.
