Right.
It’s
done.
My son is
in his own bed.
He is no
longer in a cot.
Or more
to the point, sleeping on my head in our bed.
Or waking
me by kicking me in the throat. (An all time parenting low.)
So this
is it.
A big boy’s
bed for the most sleep-defiant little boy.
For the
love of all things good in this world, please make him stay there.
Because,
I just changed the light in our bedroom to a 100w* and it turns out, under
bright light, I look about 20 years older than I thought I did, and I blame that
almost entirely** on sleeping in bursts of no more than 2 hours for the last
five years.
So come
on buddy- work with me on this one.
Because
this could be a total game changer.
With a
full night’s sleep I could take on the world.
But in
the first instance, let’s work on not looking like an 86-year-old of a Monday
morning, and take it from there.
*I’ve
changed the light bulb back to 40w now. I’m not an idiot.
** Chain
smoking and living on a diet of red wine and pub nuts throughout my 20s
probably didn’t help either.
The real killer is you then get them going out on the lash in a few years , so you can't sleep till they're home . Plus as a bonus one gets knocked up and your back on night duty yet again , no wonder the pagan life cycle is virgin mother crone , I'm well into crone territory, with my luck I will have great grand kids coming along next and we all still be living in the same house...aaaarrrrgggghhhh
