Rocking my free time

Eliza had a terrible night last Monday, where she woke up around 01.00 and didn't go back to sleep. Like, she wanted to play and was super happy that she was up. We were not. She does this adorable thing like pointing at things and calling it 'doy', 'toif', and 'dah'. Unfortunately this is not what we had in mind during the night and it took us three hours to get her back to bed. This included reading stories, having a steam session in the bathroom, cleaning her nose, rocking her, singing lullaby's for an hour and eventually putting her in her bed and letting her cry for a while. That last one worked and she finally fell asleep.

On the bright side, she had a good night on Tuesday, only waking up at 21.15, 02.20 and 05.40 for her favorite snack (me). Today is my 'day off'with Eliza in daycare and I am making the most of it. So far I've brought my folding bike to the bike repair shop in the city for maintenance, compiled the halloween playlist, cut my song for the halloween hafla (I shortened Black Magic Woman down from 5+ to a more danceable 3.45) and now I'm going to do a daily shred work-out.

Other plans for today include taking a long shower and washing my hair, going to the notar for some legal papers and working on the beledi choreography for the beginners. It's incredible how much more effective I am when I got a good amount of sleep and with my hands free.
