Joshy and Heidi

So out of nowhere, little Marley has taken to calling her parents by their first names. We will be sound asleep in the middle of the night to be woken up by, "Joshy! Heidi! Me need baby!" This is Marley code for "Mom and Dad wake up. I have thrown my pacifier on the floor and I am timing you on how long it takes you to retrieve it. If you dont do it fast, I will certainly work myself up into a full blown tantrum. " So yes, I am now being summoned at 4:30 in the morning to attend to an out of control 18monther. I already pay Marley more attention than I should in the night. Josh gets annoyed with me, saying we should just let her cry. The doctor even agrees with her. Easy for them to say. Josh sleeps right through her crying. For me, it's just easier to get up, because I cant sleep while she is freaking out in the next room. Especially now that she talks to me like an adult (or practically an adult). Next thing I know, she will be having me drop her off at daycare a block away. This little girl in 1 1/2 going on 25, and there is nothing I can do about it.
