About 2 am for the last few mornings,  Kali has woken me up so I can let her outside to commiserate with the night. Otis usually joins her and while their missions are accomplished,  I am now on that edge where I can choose to easily fall back asleep or make my usual mistake of getting a drink and I enter into insomniac mode.

Just as I’m starting to contemplate whether or not these pups should be locked up at night, I hear the baby gently stir in our bedroom and I rush back in, knowing if she fully wakes any hope of getting back to sleep myself will be lost and the sunrise will occur before I fall back to sleep.

If it weren’t for Kali waking me, I’d have missed this sweet moment. I’ve been thinking about bringing her into her own room at night instead of ours but no… not after witnessing this.
