I had a lovely wake up, this morning, even though it was 3:30 [View all]

I just sensed I was being INTENSLEY stared at and opened my eyes to see Gwen doing just that. This is the first time she's made an unaided climb up the side of the bed. As soon as she saw I noticed her, she did a belly flop on my face. After that she settled down, right next to my head, on the pillow.

What a sweetie. AND I even managed to fall back to sleep!
