ani rolling over, kinda

so to keep nissa in bed as successfully as we can, ani remains sleeping in the bassinet in our room. in all fairness, this has been good for me, allowing me to quickly change and feed her at night with minimal interruption of my sleeping. being back to work a few weeks now, every extra minute i can get is golden. so last night ani slept for about 6 hours and woke up (or woke me up, i guess) around 4:30. by 5:00 she was back in bed, but awake. by 6;00, she was still stirring, so i waited to get up (yes, i was late for work as a result). when she was quiet, i walked past to find her not on her side as i left her, but on her tummy. that is a most-impressive quarter turn! she's turned from her back to her side a few times now (just giving those legs a solid heave-ho) but this took some work! good job, kiddo! speaking of good jobs, nissa's been taking great pride in not using her potty seat. she holds herself up, hovering over the toilet. it was cute at first, but has it's drawbacks, like her not being able to wipe herself easily. . . but i will continue to act impressed, as any progress in any area is still a gold star in my book and i want to encourage her determination in any way i can. and what am i good at lately? hmmm. not much. but i should be moving a little faster, since i have racing stripes! yes, i have a select few glistening silver hairs on my head, strategically placed along my part so they are extra visible. nissa thinks they're cool, i'm amused but otherwise indifferent. although, it would be nice if they weren't so crazy-textured. they are totally different from my smooth, straight, brown hair.
