Who's Kid Is This?

According to our pediatrician, friends with kids, and other random people, babies and little kids are supposed to get 10 to 12 hours of sleep a night. Sophie didn't get that memo. For some reason our little princess doesn't think bedtime is until around 10:30 or 11. We've also been told she should be sleeping through the night by now, not happening. You'd think since she stays up late, she's sleep in. Also, not happening. Sophie is up and raring' to go by 7 every morning. To top it all off, she's decided she no longer needs a nap during the day. I'm lucky if I can get her to sleep for 45 min in the afternoon. Why doesn't our kid require sleep???
Since she doesn't ever sleep, but is constantly energized, my days are filled with keeping her entertained. She finds running around the house naked thrilling, perhaps if I were a little more confident I'd try it myself. Ironically enough, since the weather turned cold she's begun wearing her hat and socks during streaking hours.

Sophie is usually fueled by peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, since she won't eat much else. Hopefully that, mac & cheese, and a sippy cup of milk are at least a tiny bit nutritional, cuz that's about all she'll eat.


Sometimes, we do get lucky, and she falls asleep in weird places.
