Just at our house? Cool.
Very recently, as in maybe in the last week or so, Rowan is getting brave and mischievous, and likes to get up from bed and leave his room multiple times for unimportant reasons. I know this is considered pretty normal, but its not especially normal around here. Unless they really need something, like to use the bathroom or because they’re sick, they stay put. But Ro has been testing those limits recently 😉 Little punk. Its almost as though he’s three…
Yesterday, he was out of his bed very early on, multiple times. It lost its novelty pretty early for us, but he eventually cuddled in and called it a night. Until the wee hours of the morning.
I woke with a start at 3:45am to the sound of running in my house. I sat up in bed and, of course, saw a figure in my doorway. Not at all horrifying. I saw the hair and knew it was him.
“What are you doing out of bed? Whats wrong?”
And this is what I get…
“Oh, hey guys. Uh, my blanket is tangled…”
So let’s have some real talk for a minute. Brady and I were both furious. Of all ridiculous things, he had woken us (and we soon found out, most of the other kids) because he was playing in his bed and couldn’t straighten his blanket out on his own. So when he announced his issue, Brady and I just stared at him for a few seconds. Brady heaved a sigh and said he’d go help him, and walked him down.
The next hour or two was spent trying to get the two boys to shut up and fall back to sleep. I was pretty pissed, because I’m already not sleeping well, plus I woke up with reflux, of all frustrating, gross things. But eventually the kids fell back to sleep, as did Brady and I shortly thereafter.
Needless to say, its been an iffy day at best. Dekker has been very easily upset today, crying multiple times before going to school and now since getting home. He is SO overdone. And Rowan is a big ball of arguments and attitude. I can’t say I feel all that different than they do. Grrrrr…
Hopefully tomorrow is a MUCH better day! Local folks (local folkal?) you know its our big weekend around here! There is a parade in the morning, and I heard the car show not only has pork on a bun for supper, but also live music! Hmmm… I wonder who could be playing?? Probably worth checking out!
