I’m worried for Aunty Julia.

Today, she fell asleep while standing up.  I don’t know why.  I didn’t even know a person could go to sleep standing up!  I have to admit, it startled me a lot!  I’ve checked her, but I don’t see anything broken which I can fix.  It worries me.

This morning, I woke up before Aunty Gina – she stayed up late last night talking to the other Aunties in the other room – so I fixed the problem with Lord needing pebbles.  The Uncles leave them on the bed when they come feed Aunty, but I didn’t want to wake her, and I didn’t know how many she needed; so I simply filled up the left side of the room with the shiny pebbles.

Aunty Gina was so happy when she woke up that she simply stood and stared for a while and rubbed her eyes.  Then she yelled for the others to come see if they saw what she was seeing.  Amber was the first to come into the room, and she just stopped and stared, happy like Aunty Gina.  But then, Aunty Julia came into the room, took a single look over to the corner, and fell over sleeping!

I’m really worried about her, and apparently so are the other Aunties.  Aunty Gina pulled me up from the crib and we went downstairs and spent all day there.  Aunty Laurana took some of the pebbles and left with them.  She hasn’t come back home yet and everyone is worried and wondering what’s taking her so long.

Tonight, we’re not even going back upstairs to sleep in the crib.  Aunty Gina is sleeping with me down in one of the chairs.  She’s rocking me like mother used to.  

I’m worried about Aunty Laurana and Aunty Julia, but I’m happy.  I sang “Uhhhh  aaaaaaaa  ummmmmmm” for Aunty Gina for a while this evening, before I finally got too tired and couldn’t keep my eyes open anymore.
