There seems to be thing going around lately, I think all the Occupy Wall Street that's been on the news has sunken into my childrens head and they now have taken up Occupy Mommy & Papi's bed, prevent sleep at ALL cost! Even with my constant begging throughout the day for them to take naps, I am denied each and every request!
Last night we were up until about 2:30am telling A.J. to " get back in bed!" and "get out of the refridgerator!" I seriously don't think NFL players eat as much as this child! Bela she's a different story, she will sleep great, and when she wakes up, she will * sometimes* play quietly wih her toys in her crib. She however, will flip out if she hears her brother, or any of his toys and at that point, day or night we must tend to her. Needless to say hubby and myself spend many days and nights completely exhausted, last night and today were no exception. Not only did naps not happen but, they have been bouncing off the walls for a LONG time.
Fast forward to dinner time, I told Pito I was fixing mashed potatoes and steak, I asked him if he wanted any and he said yes, Bela would eat mashed potatoes 3 times a day if I let her, so I knew I had a home run in my pocket. Before I could start cooking I had to do dishes and clean up, hubby also had to run to the store for milk ( Thanks for returning babe!) It didn't take me much time to actually cook, maybe 15-20 minutes max. Pito was constantly asking me " mommy eat?" I kept telling him in a few minutes sweetie, please CLOSE the refridgerator door! go play birds or something! I finally finished cooking and turned around holding his plate and this is what I saw!!! (Pictures)
Sleeping on my watch?? not 1 but 2 sound asleep, oddly placed children in my living room. I sat down pito's bowl and grabbed the camera. I take a few pictures, yawn, rub my eyes and realize how absolutely unfair this picture is. Hubby and I exchanged looks and he went and grabbed his LOUDEST most ANNOYING toy fire truck, one we must hear every single day atleast 100 times, complete with annoying never ending theme song!
He looked so peaceful sound asleep on the ottoman, hubby sat beside him laid the fire truck over him and turned it ON! hahahah.... lights and sirens and a man on the microphone yelling, aww poor baby what a sucky way to wake up!! atleast we gave him the courtesy of setting it on him and not hitting him in the head with it, as he has done to us so many times before. He woke up pretty mad! and Bela woke up too once she heard his toy, but she was delighted to have mashed potatoes, pito on the other hand, it was a fight to get him to eat.. He is awake now, and at 8:30 he will have my blessing to curl up in his bed and go to sleep, like the rest of us.
I might sound cruel, but from now on, if I don't sleep the kids don't sleep!
