This IS Only a Stage, RIGHT? March 29 2007
Noah was up and down all night with nightmares.
HOrrible terrifying nightmares about…..sticky things.
Thats right. Sticky things.
He came in a got in beside Chris, his usual place. And things were fine, except now I had to pee. While I was peeing Noah strolled in and said he HAD to sleep on my side because his nightmare would not go away. FINE. So we went back to bed and I let him climb in from my side.
Right in the middle of my pillow, all snug as a bug under my duvet.
Huh.
So I slide in beside him and nudge him over a tiny bit…because GOD FORBID he sleep actually in the middle, had a little chat about nightmares and all that, a smooch and I began to doze.
And then he started to kick the duvet off, then he started to kick his one leg up in the air and flop it down on the bed. Then he settled. And we dozed again. Then I could feel his leg on my, squirm squirm squirm “Noah please stop that” “mommy I am wubbing you, that’s a nice thing”
Finally, Chris took him back to his room and tucked him in, wubbed his back and told him that there were no more sticky things out to get him.
Chris came back, we giggled about the sticky things and then we dozed.
“Daddy? I can’t sleep” says Noah INCHES away from Chris’s face about 15 minutes later.
So climbed in DADDY’S side and immediately went to sleep.
He’s still there, asleep.
He’s snuggled between my pillow and Chris’s covered to his nose in at least one duvet sawing logs like there’s not tomorrow.
Little bugger.
sticky things…..eeeuuuuuuuu!
Id have nightmares too!
Q. What’s brown and sticky?
A. A stick.
Awwww. I hope it’s not a stage, but just one night
I think I’d take sticky, over hairy – but, then again, all nightmares are yucky – have you tried monster spray?
Liz, sticky AND hairy… now that’s a nightmair!
Once I had to sleep with my son (b/c Daddy was snoring) anyhow I wake up at 3 am to my son sound asleep, standing on his bed and swinging his arms like he is swimming freestyle in the pool….straight at me. Bruised I go to sleep with my daughter who in turns kicks me for an hour. Both kids deny they beat me up while sleeping. Husband claims he doesn’t snore either. Hmpf.
