daddy daughter campout

Ever since Jade was born Dan has always wanted to sleep with Jade. He begs me all the time to let her sleep in our bed. He has even asked me if I thought the crib would hold if he climbed in to lay with her for just a minute. This weekend all of his dreams have come true.

This weekend was our ward's father son camp out. Dan would have taken Jade and dressed her like a boy, but decided to have a camp out of his own at home. When it was time for us to go to bed he decided to sneak in her room and make a bed on her floor for them to sleep on. He thought if he could transfer her quick onto the floor then she would not wake up. Well, he was wrong.

She woke up immediately and knew something was different. I was in the room too so we both had to drop instantly to the floor and pretend that we were asleep. She was SO cute. She crawled around exploring the floor and the pillows that we had put up to barricade her in. She would crawl over to us and look at us, and then just go back to her exploring. You could tell that she was still really tired because every minute or two she would lay her head down to rest for a bit. She even at one point rested her head right next to Dan's on his pillow. Dan's dreams had come true.

After around 30 minutes she fell asleep and I snuck out and got these cute shots.





I went to bed in our room and was awoken by Dan at 3:00am. She woke up and started playing again so Dan put her back in her crib. I guess the change of scenery was just too exciting for her to sleep.

Dan loved the camp out with Jade even despite the 3 am waking. He has already said that he is definitely doing it again next weekend!
