I’m feeling really sleepy this morning. It would be nice to go back to bed but the offspring can’t be trusted to all behave themselves yet. I imagine sometimes when they are all a bit older and don’t need immediate and constant supervision all the time. I could have a bath. Or a nap. And not have to worry that they will have killed each other or redecorated the house with their lunch (or worse, post-processing “lunch”) or decided it would be a good idea to take down every single toy from the shelf. It seems almost impossible, doesn’t it.<\/p>\n
Kristian has been going through a bit of a funny stage the last couple of weeks with regards to sleeping. He’s also really exploding verbally, so maybe the temporary backslide in the sleep department is the price of the verbal development. Or it could be that he’s almost 2 and thinks he should be able to do\/get\/have whatever he wants. After going down to bed perfectly without any fuss for .. ever, he suddenly started mucking about in a big way at bed time. He gets out of bed. He tries the sobbing but I think he’s realised that I’m an unsympathetic audience. He has also been waking up earlier than usual. The last couple of days he’s woken at about 5am. He seems to prefer to have the door shut when he goes to bed, he is much calmer and doesn’t give the same performances as when it’s open, so this morning when he woke up he couldn’t get out of his bedroom. “Mummmeeee, mummmeeee!” I sleepily called out to him to get back into bed and go to sleep. He got a bit grumpier yelling for me and then all of a sudden stopped. “Daddeeeeey!” Silly sucker that he is, Daddy got out of bed to get Kristian and he came and snuggled with us until it was time for Daniel to start getting ready for work. I found the whole episode a bit cute because it’s very reminiscent of a story about a young me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
