I'd be buried alive if our bedroom door was left open for all to come in! As it is, my very handicapped darling Thumbelina wakes me up in the A.M. We have a little game..when she knows I'll be getting up soon, she gets on top of me and starts her drooling, and nose rubs. I will peek at her a bit with one eye, and she KNOWS...and then the floodgates open! YAY mama's awake now...dancing away, and non-stop drooly rubs every morning LOL! How can I resist...she's beaten all the odds so far! Good luck with Josie, and her 'night on the town'! P.S Thank God for air conditioners..great for noise reduction!
