Reveille

The process of waking Jamie up is almost as time consuming as that of putting her to sleep. She goes through a cycle of wonderful arching stretches and gaping yawns, emitting odd and unsettling sounds from within the nappy, occasionally opening an eyelid to see if we've given up yet. But with resolve we continue the pokes, prods, encouragement and rock-scissors-paper over who has to open up the little 'bag of joy'.
