What you hear when they think you aren't listening.

We just recently put the baby monitors back in the girls' room, since one of them has a tendency to wake up in the middle of the night. We are still getting used to having the monitor on again, and it is providing us a little insight into our daughters behavior when we aren't in the room.

When separated into their cribs the entertain each other for 15-20 minutes with a rousing (and giggle filled) game of peek-a-boo. After this Little Wonder seems to drift off to sleep, while Didi sings her a chipper lullaby consisting mostly of Happy Birthday and assorted nursery songs. (Yes, my kids like the birthday song. A. Lot.)

If, at this point, we were to intervene, we would find her contentedly bouncing in bed with nothing but a diaper on, playing with her blankets and pajamas. She would insist on being taken out of bed, re clothed, hugged and kissed, and placed back in bed. At which point she would start over by calling "Hello! Are you there?" to Little Wonder, then the songs and pajama removal.

But, we don't intervene anymore (well, usually), so in the morning we find Didi redressed, with her shirt on inside out and backwards, and her pants on inside out.

The kid is a mystery.
