Driving Ms Natalie

Its amazing how tolerant Nat is with her brother, she practically allows him to do anything to her like, forcing her two chubby hands together (claims to be teaching her how to clap), squashing her tummy (claims to be giving his sister a hug), lying on her tummy, insisting on getting mei mei on his lap, smothering her with his whole head of hair when he gives her a kiss etc etc. She never fusses much or cries when gor gor does all this to her.
But now my angel baby, who sleeps well during the day and night and is pretty much contented most of the time has morphed into a cranky, fussy, and sleepless one!!! I blame it on the erupting teeth and sore gums!!!!! I want my angel baby back!!!

Mummy there's a monster under my bed...

Its amazing how many excuses Zac comes up with to DELAY having to actually sleep. Usually after reading the bible, praying, reading him some books, double checking if he has his big puppy and his small puppy and his mickey mouse and his 2 books and his pillow and his pacifier (embarrassingly he still needs this!), a kiss and a hug, turn on the music, turn off the lights, we close the door and hope for the best.
But evidently all that doesn't seem to be enough to keep him in his room and allow needful down time for Eugene and i. Now that he is very able to open ALL doors, he finds it a great display of independence to open his room door and saunter out to proclaim that....
- "There are ants on my bed"
- "The music is too loud"
- "I want the light off"
- "There is a spider coming down from my lights (which are not even on)"
- "I did a poop"
- "I need to wee"
- "smdieghtk" (Yup gibberish, desperate attempt)
_ " I don't like upstairs to be noisy"
- "There's thunder, i don't like it to rain"
- "I don't like the airplanes"
And the final exclaimation..." I cannot sleep"
And all this while we have to keep chasing him back to his room and reminding him to SLEEP ALREADY!!
Maybe we should move the door knobs higher!!!!!
