Nocturnal Adventures
Gerald fell down from our bed for the 3rd time yesterday. It was early in the morning, while it was still dark. I was already up and getting ready for school and Luke had just gotten out of bed. Gerald was still sleeping in the middle of the bed when Luke walked into the wardrobe. Barely 30 seconds later, there was a soft thud followed by screaming and crying. Gerald must have sensed us getting up and was rolling around, looking for us with his eyes closed. Luckily, he landed on a cushion that had fallen onto the floor and did not knock his head.Last night, he woke up at 3am and climbed off the bed, walked to his changing table and took out a bottle of baby oil to play with. All in the dark!!! We put him back into bed but he just refused to sleep. He was playing and standing up so Luke put him into his cot. Of course he screamed and complained for some time. Finally, I guessed he might be hungry and made him a bottle of milk. He drank hungrily and finally went back to sleep around 4.30am.
Yawn!!! I need more sleep.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...........
