Things that Go Shriek in the Night

Or, little people who go shriek in the night. 7pm sweet Penny goes to bed. Cry cry sleep sleep sleep. 10:30 she wakes up. Shriek shriek shriek scream scream. I try to nurse her. Scream scream cry cry shriek shriek. I turn on the light. "Oh!" then, shriek shriek cry scream. I give her a dose of baby ibuprofen. Yum yum. Nursies. Back to bed. Whimper whimper sleep sleep.

3am: cry cry shriek shriek. I get up right away, cuddle cuddle, cry cry shriek scream shriek. Try nursies. Shriek shriek cry cry scream scream. Dr. D comes in. Smile, cry, shriek shriek. Change diaper. Shriek shriek cry cry scream shriek. Push the Annoying Button on the singing bear. "Oooh!" "Coo smile coo." Whimper, cry, shriek shriek. We turn on the light. Blink blink. Smile smile. Nursies. Glug glug. Light out, back to bed, coo coo sleep sleep.

7am: whimper whimper. I run in expecting cry shriek fest. Smile smile giggle giggle.

What on earth?

Update: Down for nap. Scream scream cry cry shriek shriek cry cry scream shriek cry cry. Ten minutes. Scream shriek cry shriek cry cry scream shriek. Twenty minutes. Quiet sleep. One minute. Cry shriek scream scream cry cry shriek shriek. I get her up and try nursies. Scream cry shriek shriek.
