The kids and I (minus Zane) are visiting Nana and Paw Paw for a few days. Sleeping arrangements are always something to be contemplated and carefully thought out. Not because there isn't enough room it's just a matter of who sleeps where and with whom. The are not permanent spots because the kids like to rotate through sleeping with Nana and Paw Paw.
So the first night here Kaylee got the primo spot with N & P. I decided that it would be nice just to mess up one big bed and have all the kids sleep together. So, Trent, Mia, and Ty all slept peacefully through the night together in the king size bed. While I ever so gingerly slipped next door to a queen size of my very own.
Last night Trent won the spot with N & P. So I had Mia, Kaylee and Ty in the big bed. I was still giddy from my night alone and fell fast asleep. Then the following began to occur and more than once I considered just not going back to sleep and staying up for the day...
10:45 Ty begins whimpering, upon inspection I see that Kaylee has made a large C with her body and is effectivley pushing him off the bed. He's hanging on with all he's got. So I move Kaylee into the bottom bunk of the bunk beds, In the same room with me.
12:00 Mia wakes up crying, She has forgotten to wear her pull up and is now completely soaked. I wash her off, change her clothes and move her to the top bunk, in the same room with me.
1:30 Ty wakes up crying, He has discovered that he is now in the bed and room alone. So I move him into the bed with me....(do you see a pattern here)
2:45 I wake up sweating profusely and try to turn the fan on higher and accidentally turn the light on instead. Kaylee wakes up and wants to get in bed with me. I explain to her that Ty is already in the bed with me. She then begins to question how she got to this room in the first place?
4:15 Ty wakes up crying out Lao, Lao This is his word for Pee Pee. I quickly make a mad dash to the bathroom with him and we make it there with only needing to change his clothes and not the sheets.
(whew! because at this point there are no more unoccupied beds that don't already need new sheets) I was quite certain if he and I went back to the big bed then everyone else would need to be transferred over as well.
7:30 Wake up to little voices saying....Come on mommy it's time to get up, haven't you slept enough? As a matter of fact NO!
Remember a complete night's sleep is a gift and should not be taken for granted, See #5 below!
