I've been trying to sleep in my bed rather than on the couch lately. So far, this has not been a roaring success. If it's not LateNapLarry screwing me over by staying up all night, it's PleaseDon'tLeaveMePolly waking up in the middle of the night crying because she's afraid that we're going to leave her behind and not take her to preschool. We are leaving her behind, but I'm hoping she won't figure that out until we're heading out the door.
We've left instruction for LateNap not to let him sleep after 4:00 in the afternoon. Day 1 of someone else trying to enforce this caused the babysitter (Grandma) to toss a sleepy crying baby at me as soon as I walked through the door. Her exact quote was, "I couldn't have kept him awake for much longer." What I heard was, "His crying was giving me a headache and I was going to ruin your entire night by letting him sleep anyway if you didn't make it home soon." So .... we've got some work to do there.
PleaseDon'tLeaveMe was up last night at 1:15 begging to go downstairs for water, then she refused to go back to bed. Spending the night on the couch with a squirmy 3-year old watching Spongebob (the movie) is not the setting for pleasant dreams. It's the setting for frequent waking as I'm being kicked all night, coupled by the fact that the title sequence played on a loop and that obnoxious Spongebob laugh kept jolting me out of any productive sleep patterns. I know the obvious solution would be to either turn the movie down or off, but that required way more effort than I was committing to anything.
