I am sure you all think this will be one of those stories with a moral teaching at the end of it ment to teach the wayward to correct their ways before it is too late. No such luck! I wrote my serious article for the week yesterday and so today its a happy story with no particular objective.
By now those who follow my writing can probably guess the routine that is my life. So prizes for guessing that I often arrive home after dark coming form class. Last night was no exception. I came home and found my princess asleep. She looked so peaceful asleep and yet a part of me wanted her to awake and see daddy was home.
I didn't wake her up(partly because my wife wouldn't let me!!) and later in the evening we all retired to bed. I have not mentioned this before (quite typical of me by now you should know), but my baby has tharted all attempts to make her sleep in he bed. She will scream or just sit up in the dark if made to sleep in her her alone. So guess who sleeps between mum and dad?
In keeping with the title of this blog, at midnight or thereabout I got my wish. Her majesty was awake and there was no way the peasantry could be asleep when she wasn't. There was lots of laughter some screaming and even more laughter after that.
Any first time parent will tell you how difficult it is to pretend to be asleep as your baby talks to you or puts his/her fingers into your mouth and ears. After half an hr of pretending to ignore her I gave up and turned on the lights. That gave her more morale to play. Needless to say it was a very short night in terms of sleep.
As I left the house this morning I toyed with the idea of leaving instructions on how much she should be let to sleep during the day but I knew I'd just be overruled.
I know promised that there wouldn't be a lesson at the end of this story, but its my blog, and I do as I please so there will be a lesson afterall.
Careful what you wish for.............you just might get it!!!
Red eyed sleepy dad has signed off!!
