Here is one from March, before the kids had their own room… when we were all sharing one bedroom.
Enjoy!
Since my second son was born, we’ve had a co-sleeping arrangement…well, they have their own beds…but they’re in our room. The room is fairly big, so we have our bed, 2 kids bed, and the crib…makes for very interesting nights.
I was feeding the baby at 4am and my 3 year old son says to me “mummy, I want you to go to sleep! Close your eyes, and GO TO SLEEP!!” hmmmmm, sounds familiar?!? I just had to laugh. While the eldest one likes to sleeps now, the “almost” 2 year old is another story…he is the last to go to sleep and the first to wake up. At 6AM he is in our bed trying to wake us up…actually trying to wake his dad up (which is fine with me!) He usually does not succeed, so next he tries me…that usually doesn’t work either, so he moves on to his brother’s bed…who gets irritated and tries to push him away…usually by this time I have to get up and intervene…but some mornings he even tries to wake up the baby!! So I open my eyes and there he is poking the baby’s feet and singing his name!!
This morning I put on the tv for them, hoping to keep them from running around the room…it worked…they were very quiet, especially the ‘almost’ 2 year old…until he came to the bed with his face shiny and said “mummy?” Shiny face?!? hmmm were is the Vaseline?? oh right, all over his face!!
Well, at least my husband is getting some sleep!
