Let's Stay Up All Night!

We had our yummy New Year's Eve dinner - siu mai, potstickers, and spring rolls - settled in to watch Kathy Griffin and Anderson Cooper on CNN, as all good parents of toddlers are wont to do, and sent Elizabeth off to bed.


She had other ideas. Shortly after East Coast New Year's, we heard a loud BUMP from upstairs. Nancy went to investigate. Elizabeth was diving off the foot of her bed. Since it's New Year's Eve, we thought, what the heck, let her stay up a little more.

Elizabeth was a party monster. She wanted to know "What are we watching?" She played with her bouncing ball, drew several masterpieces on her MagnaDoodle. She chased after George and the cats, who had already settled into their post-bedtime repose and were
displeased to be back on Baobao high alert.

She took her father's New Year's Even credo "Let's Stay Up All Night!" to heart and finally settled in for the night at 11:30. PM, sharing the following wish with everyone
