My daughter woke me around 11:50 last night. My wife and I had picked her up from her friend, Sally's, birthday party, brought her home, and put her to bed. My wife went into the bedroom to read while I fell asleep watching a game.

"Daddy," my daughter whispered, tugging my shirt sleeve.                                                                       "Guess how old I'm going to be next month."

"I don't know..." I said while smiling. "How old?"

She smiled and held up four fingers.

It is 7:30 now. My wife and I have been up with her for almost 8 hours. She still refuses to tell us where she got them.
