Sleepless in St. Louis

Ava has not one, not two, but THREE top teeth that are just about through her gums. This means Ava has been a cranky little girl for the past few days, and none of us have been getting any sleep. Last night Ava couldn't fall asleep, so she stayed up and played in the laundry basket instead. We finally got her down, only for a 4 am wakening.

The night before she awoke at 1:00 and just as I almost had her back to sleep, Bella came in the room and meowed. Ava then wanted nothing to do with sleeping and was wide-eyed and searching for the cat for the next hour.

Please, please, please little teeth, come on through and let us get some sleep! Who knew those little things could run our lives the way they do! I guess it doesn't help that they're ganging up on her in packs of threes!
