I got placed and left early

Some good news today - I got placed. As soon as I got that news, I asked to leave work early to get my kid. I picked Reagan up at 3pm and went home to play with her. She seemed pretty happy to see me. She was waving at me when I got to LRS. So cute. After we got home, we played on the floor for a while. She is just so talkative anymore. Every day it seems like she's got a new sound.

We eventually went upstairs to take a nap. When I say “we”, I mean it. I had full intentions to go upstairs and nap while holding her in the rocker. She wasn’t really quite ready to sleep, so we played some. We played “Piggies” and “Peekaboo”. When I was “done”, I tried to just lay my head back and just be quiet. Most of the time that works with her – she gets the clue to settle down and go to sleep. Today it was different. She kept making her noises. She kept talking. I finally looked down at her and she was smiling so big. I just couldn’t help but laugh with her. I didn’t start playing with her again until she started playing “peekaboo” with me. Yes, with me. She’d put her snuggly up over her face and then jerk it down really fast. After a couple times, I started interacting with her. “Where’s Reagan” I’d ask. Needless to say, it was a long time before we napped. But we did nap.
