This says it all...

I took this picture a couple of days ago, but it's pretty much how Caroline looked by the time she went to bed tonight. I woke her up fairly early this morning because we had to be out the door. Otherwise she would most likely have slept late after not going to bed at a decent hour. We ran all day, and all she had in the way of sleep was a quick cat nap and about an hour at the end of the day. She was exhausted by bedtime, although letting her get overtired can sometimes be a dangerous thing. I took her to bed armed with a new Elmo book, and I was able to leave the room without her crying. She asked for her door to be open, and I obliged. I heard her dumping books out of her crib a few minutes later, and I haven't heard a peep out of her since. WOOHOO!

I'm hoping after Thanksgiving I can get a few updates posted. I've got pictures from Mickey's flag football, Mindy's band competitions, Mickey's birthday, and Halloween still to share. Check back...I'm off to bed...
