She wakes up and talks/plays in her crib. We usually let her stay in there for 10-15 minutes. Sometimes if we go before that, she's crabby and wants us to go away! Kind of like a teenager
She usually will just sit up and start playing and talking/singing, but sometimes, like this morning, she'll start yelling, "Mommeeee! Where ah you?? Can you come and change my diapah?" lol She's had a cold lately and is super-cranky, though, so she's woken up screaming hysterically and disoriented the past few days.
I'll let her play in there for 15-20 minutes or a little longer sometimes while I finish up what I'm doing, as long as she's happy.
Emily ALWAYS wakes up screaming and crying. It's so annoying. I can count the number of times she's woken up peacefully on one hand. She wakes up prematurely and can't figure out how to soothe herself back to sleep at nap-time. So, she turns into her evil-twin and just flips out. Some days I can calm her down easily within a few minutes. Most of time she just screams and cries for 30 or more minutes. I have tried everything to get her to take longer naps but it's just the way she is, I guess! Yay for me;)

DS has a full size bed, so when he wakes up he usually just leaves his room to come and find us.
