8:45!!!

Oh yea!!

 8:45!!!  Is the rousing cheer we hear every evening as the fated time befalls us.  I have no idea where it started but there is no doubt that 8:45 is Lucy's favorite time of day.  Every night she makes us watch it change from 8:44 to 8:45 which then results in convulsive jumping and wiggling that is what we now refer to as "The 8:45 Party".  So while sleep is on the schedule this time of night more often than not she is in bed alert and waiting, and should she fall asleep, the fact that 12 hours await the next turn of the magical number causes a fair amount of distress.  One funny side note is that Lucy often will abscond with Andrea's phone and type the number 845 over and over so that what we find looks something like this

84584584584

58458458458

4584584584.

Yep that's our kid and we love the whole package even 8:45 yelled at the top of her lungs in our tired ears:)  Not to be missed is the bedtime ritual of "snugging all the way to her feet" and "Can I say my things"? Yes. "Don't lock the door and close the door, I love you , good night , see you in the morning, mwwwa (a blown kiss)".  So that's tucking time at our house.
