Naptime Antics

Molly went up for a nap today around 12:30.  She decided today she would NOT sleep, and she played in her crib, and cried, said "Hot Dog" about a million times, (* I'll explain this at the end) cried some more, played some more etc.  At one point, after she was quiet for a little bit I checked on her via our video monitor, and she had taken her pants and socks off!  REALLY??!!  Then she really started to cry (probably because she didn't have any pants on!)  So I went upstairs, put her pants back on, and explained to her that she needed to take a nap!  Another hour and a half goes by with the whole crying/playing stuff, and FINALLY she fell asleep....I went up to check on her, and couldn't help myself, I had to snap a pic...it looks like she was trying to take her pants off again, and mid "drop" got tired and fell asleep!

This is a "pre nap" picture I took.  Could she be any cuter???

*Hot Dog Explanation:  Molly's absolute favorite show is Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  She was introduced to the show by her cousin Melanie Fox when we were in NJ for her first birthday.  Ever since the first time she watched the show, she's been obsessed!  At the end of each episode of the show, the characters sing "The Hot Dog Song" and do a dance.  Molly began calling the show "Da-Dow" but it took me awhile to figure out that "Da-Dow" meant Hot Dog. (She began requesting the show by saying "Da Dow" a couple months ago)  But as of recently she has figured out the word "Hot" and now says Hot Dog all the time!  She also loves Minnie Mouse, and says "Mimmie" whenever she sees Minnie Mouse on TV, in a book, on something at the store.....she loves her!  When we put her to bed each night, Gunnar hands her her blanky and Minnie, and when he gives her Minnie, she has a huge smile and says "Mimmie!" and hugs her!  It's the sweetest thing!
