Cindy-Lu Hoo has always been a pretty good sleeper. I will just lay her down in bed, bring her hundreds of things to kiss, turn out the light, and she’s good to go. She’ll lay in there and stare out her window or jump up and down for a couple hours, but eventually she goes to sleep.

The last few nights she has been waking up in the middle of the night crying. I thought she was having a bad dream, or maybe teething, but no. Silly me. What was I thinking?

Santa brought Cindy-Lu a Cinderella night light. Silly ol’ Santa…he thought Cindy-Lu might like having a small light in her room in case she woke up in the middle of the night. Au contraire, mon frere. (Or whatever…I don’t speak French…I just pretend.) The light either wakes her up or she wakes up and it bugs the hell out of her.

Thanks for the gift Santa, but please, before someone gets hurt, take it back!
