every morning, arwen would wake up first before me. i love the extra minutes of shut eye before i really wake up for the day and luckily, arwen is already big enough now to know how to occupy her time while i sleep in for that few extra minutes. she'll open and unload the stuff from our drawers, play with her toys, poop, climb on and off the bed, sit on my (or husband's) face with her poop-soiled diaper, hide my glasses or the remote control .. things like that. but when she's had enough of that, she'll scream to get me (or ayis) to wake up.
over the months, i have learned to phase out on her screams and cries and whines, especially in the morning. but, in true evolution fashion, she's learned to come up with more ingenious ways to wake us up when screaming no longer works. before this, she'll tap on our faces - in other word, slap us or shake us till we say something. but we manage to sleep through that. and then, last friday, she's learned to peel open my eyes herself. like, manually pinching my eyelids and prying them open. PAIN.
and today, when manual eye-prying no longer works (because i'll shut my eyes even harder), she pulled my hair and/or neck till my head lifts up.
she's getting so smart i don't think i'm able to keep up with her. next thing you know, she'll correct me when i mess up on facts and simple trivia. next thing you know, she'll be the one schooling me. and i often worry about the future when my daughter would ask me to go through her math homework and i don't understand any of it.
