When the lights go out...

So, ever since Makenna was about 9 months old, we've layed her in her bed awake and just let her fall asleep. Of course that was a lot easier to do when she was still in her crib. Since she's been in her big girl bed for the last almost 8 months, there have been some rough nights. I put one of those plastic door knob things on the inside of her room and we shut the door after we lay her down. At least if she gets out of bed, she's stuck in her room (don't worry we still have the baby monitors to hear what's going on). Last Friday was a half day for me and when I got home from work Makenna was starting to get sleepy so we both layed down in the living room and took a nap. I kept thinking that I was smelling either apple juice or pee (as strange as it sounds they both smell the same to me) and couldn't figure out where it was coming from but just thought Makenna had probably spilled juice somewhere. So that night when Chuck gets home he tells me how when he went in to wake her up Friday morning, all of the letters on her wall that spell her name were laying in her bed and she was completely naked all wrapped up in her blanket, the same blanket she was taking a nap with...so it turns out I really was smelling pee.
