play mommy!

aaaaaaaah...winter break! that means i again have time to write all the funny things k does! and having been off the past few days, there are plenty of moments to share! i will start with last night though.

i sit here typing, still half asleep because i had a severe lack of sleep last night. at about 1, k started crying because he lost his pacifier. i went downstairs, got him a new one (because i am not looking for one in the dark!), covered him back up, and went back to bed. less than 2 hours later i hear, "mom! mommy! moooooooooommmmmmmmmyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! play mom!" oh no honey...it's not time! so i go back down, make sure he has his pacifier, and i talk to him about how it's still time to sleep. i put his music on, and he tells me good night. so went back upstairs to see the lights on the monitor flashing. i sat on the edge of the bed just waiting for him to call me again. and then i heard it. the bang, thud, wail! i ran down the stairs to find him at the bottom. i'm not sure if he fell trying to get out of the crib and ran to the stairs, or if he got out of the crib safely (a new favorite hobby of his) and tried coming up the stairs and fell somewhere between his room and the stairs.

i scooped him up and cuddled with him in the recliner until he stopped crying. now it's about 4. he still thinks it's time to play. daddy came down to cover us up and make sure everything was ok. k wants to pet the cat, he wants to roll all over. ummm...hon...it's 4:00. it's time to sleep. so i try to reason with him...if we sleep for an hour more, we can get up and play. "ok mommy!" so now the two of us are going to sleep for an hour in the recliner so we can get up to play. UGH! i'm not looking forward to this, and apparently neither is k. he rolls around fidgeting and changing positions for a while. when i look at the clock it is 5:09. neither of us has slept. we both found a comfy position around 5:30 and slept for a little bit.

now as i sit here tired as can be, k is playing in a large box, sitting, leaning, and tipping it over so he can fall out and do it all over again! but the box just hit him in the head, so i m ust go and wait for the tears!
