It is now nearly 9:00pm and, as I write, the little Flopper is standing right here next to me hugging my waist. She is so very, very full of beans. Maddie went to bed within 5 minutes of their 7pm bedtime, but Faith is now probably on about her 19th time of sneaking out of her room. Her sneaking out now goes like this:
I sit here in the bedroom and hear some muffled breathing. This is accompanied shortly after by seeing a tuft of hair doing the low army crawl into our room with her head to the ground. She keeps her head low and her eyes transfixed on the carpet so as to avoid eye contact, and thus, avoid being "seen" (or so she believes!). It's absolutely hilarious. I can not stop laughing when she does this. Sometimes she'll also come in with her hands over her eyes and slowly peel each finger away revealing her eyes and her sneaky smile. Other times she has come out with her stuffed penguin, and I only see a penguin waving to me kind of like a white surrender flag. There have also been two other times when I went out with Dan thinking that she had finally gone to sleep, only to notice that her little head is poking out of the cottage door and waving to us... with her eyes closed nonetheless to avoid eye contact yet again.
I had to let her come out and play for a little while because she is too darn irresistible. She was setting up the Momma's and the Da-da's in the big Playmobil dollhouse. Then we decided to call Nene and Grampa (who she now refers to as Bop Bop) because she loves to talk to them in the night. She was hilarious. She wanted to talk to Uncle Schnoogo then too, but once he got on the other end of the phone, she goes "I don't want Dis" (as in, I don't want to talk to 'this'- or Uncle Schnoogo!). Eth thought she had told him she loves him, and he was quite distressed when I laughed and told him what she had really said. She cracks me up!
How am I supposed to send her to bed when she's dancing with her polka dot cozies on and shaking her butt doing the "butt move?!"

The little ladies had a blast yesterday with their D.D. and Baby Cuz. Faith was SO excited to see Flup and Ella, and now calls Flupper "Blooby" it sounds like. She was so funny with her Ella who she just adores. She would put out her arms and Ella would walk to her, and they stood there hugging for quite some time on a few occasions. She's always wanting to pat her head and give her hugs.
She got a Road Ripper motorcycle for her birthday yesterday from her cousins. I haven't stopped hearing "It's Ninja Wheelie time" in the past 2 days! She and Cran are hilarious with it because they put their princess dolls on it and then send the motorcycle crashing into the kitchen wall.
