Being tucked in...
Feb. 23rd, 2013 03:42 pmThursday night I got unnecessarily excited. D hadn't napped and so obviously she would go to bed early. And silly me announced it to hubby in front of her! It would be movie night for two of us!
Well, D had other plans. She kept herself busy with so many house chores! She didn't appear to be one bit tired though. But I was determined, foolishly really. She played along. We spent half an hour trying to sleep - which meant I just sit by the side of the bed while she tries to sleep.
I got tired and I said I was going to bed. She started a ruckus (happy one)! She got down, called dad over and declared that N's big queen sized fleece blanket is hers and she would be sleeping in his spot on the big bed! She did try getting under the covers. Then she remembered her bed. So, she lugged the big blanket over to hers and pretended to sleep.
Hubby couldn't figure out how to get his blanket back. I got in my spot of the bed, pretending to sleep. They both began a tug of war with the blanket! It was ridiculously funny that would only end with tears. I ordered (playfully) N to go to bed. I shared with D that poor dad is feeling cold and would like to sleep and left it at that. She sat quietly wondering what to do. A minute passed.
She then got down lugged the blanket over, covered him up to the best of her ability but only managed the top half and his legs were still exposed. She then went to her bed, got her blanket and covered his legs. She then came to my side, fixed up my blanket and made sure I was all tucked in and not cold and ordered us both to sleep.
She got on the bed and sat between us and sang us a lullaby, kept reminding us not to laugh (as we really couldn't hold it in) and to close eyes to sleep! She went on for 30-40 minutes this way! We did try to pretend to fall asleep. Well, we had no choice. If we as much as tried to peak a glimpse at her she would promptly poke our eyes to get them to close! Since, obviously she needed to show how to do it since we can't follow simple directions.
It was sweet. And finally she got into her bed and slept off. 15 hours after getting up!
