Thank You, Mahgie!

Apparently, my mom has had kids before...she kind of knows what she's talking about when she gives me advice.  Lately, I have been DUKING it out with Ellie over her afternoon naps.  Without the goi-goi, she was having a terrible time calming herself down enough to fall asleep.  I kept having to go into her room to tell her to shush, to get off the furniture, to stop trying to break the bed, to put her clothes back on, etc.  Mahgie gave me a great idea when I was at my lowest point: just give her a bunch of books in bed to keep her occupied; if she sleeps, great; if not, oh well, at least you got your break.  So, we tried it, and this was the first day's result.  Nice, mom!
