Lately Sumåhi has been in the "screaming mood", especially at around 5:30-6:00 in the morning. You could imagine my frustration when she refuses to go back to sleep even after eating, and continues with her screaming and babbling. I would look at her with my sleepy eyes, and she would scream and yell, and be giving me the look which said "Why aren't you holding me? Why aren't you playing with me? Get up and play with me now!" And I, knowing that any resistance would be futile, would get up and play with her until it is time for me to get ready for work. Then she would be smiley and happy, and I would shake my head and say "ai adai!"
Sumåhi is a very curious, active, alert baby, which is great, for her pace at learning seems to be pretty fast. However, it is a problem when it comes to her sleeping. It is so difficult to put her to sleep. At one time she would be falling asleep after rocking her for 30 minutes, then she would get distracted by a picture, an object, a sound, and suddenly became all alert again. She would always refuse to go to sleep even when she is sleepy as long as there is something interesting going on. My mother called her a wild baby. Have you ever seen a baby with dark circles? Just look at Sumåhi.
