Guitar!

Caitrin has a brand new word today! We are on Day 5 of Nap Boycott 2008 and my nerves are completely frayed. Very little is cute or funny right now and I am absolutely exhausted. This afternoon I actually had to lie down on the couch while I watched Caitrin play. Sean keeps the guitar I gave him for our anniversary in its (hardshell!) case in the living room and often plays for Caitrin. They love singing together and he even lets her strum a little.

Caitrin was busy pulling coasters off the end table when she suddenly decided to go bang on Daddy's guitar case. She loves to play drums on anything and has a scary-good sense of rhythm already. I said something like, "yeah, that's Daddy's guitar case. You love it when Daddy plays guitar, huh?" I kid you not, her reply was, "guitar, guitar, guitar!" Well, technically it was "guhtuh, guhtuh, guhtuh," but there was no mistaking what she meant. I gave her a big hug, called her dad, and got her to say it while he was on the phone. He was THRILLED!

Well, gotta feed my girl and get her to bed early. We are headed for the National Aquarium in Baltimore tomorrow and I want her to be well-rested!
