Staying in Bed

Alisa was happily played in bed for an hour and a half this morning before I went into her room (I was waking up, showering, eating breakfast, checking my email, etc). She surprised me by saying "Mommy, don't take me. I want to stay in bed." So I left her in bed. She told me she threw some stuffed animals out of her bed and wanted them back so I picked them up and gave them to her. She also asked for a couple other toys to play with. I sat on the guest bed and watched her play. Then I left for awhile and when I came back she still wanted to play in bed. She ended up playing for at least 20 minutes which was very surprising since she had already played for an hour and a half!

Look how big she is on the changing table (she can't stretch out all the way, which is okay because she's always kept her legs folded anyway):

Here's how small she was on the changing table in May 2007:
