Every night, I tuck my son into bed and, about a half hour later, he comes downstairs and tells me I need to tuck him in. Wha!??! Didn’t I just do that? But, he knows I’ll be confused enough to go up and do.it.again.

Kids.

My daughter wakes up in the middle of the night crying and when I go to her she actually says things like “Mommy – I want a special treat.” So of course I seize on this opportunity and get us both some chocolate chips. I wonder why she keeps doing that…

Your son is adorable. That face makes me smile.

I will absolutely vote for your “room” since I will be there this year!

Need to do a re-tuck! I’m glad my kids didn’t read this when they were little.

I love Jack.

Bob laid this one one me:

“Mom? I think I’m nocturnal! Mom?”

For real.

“Mom! Mom! I nee a tish-you!” (My 3 yr old pointing to the streaming, green tusks running down his face. Why can’t he just wipe his face on his sheets like every other kid?!)

I don’t know whether to consider myself lucky I don’t have to go through this, or jealous because I don’t get to go through this.

I know, the walking and talking have some draw backs, huh?

Those were funny! JonJon is 3 so we’ve not hit the total stage of getting out of bed. It’s the getting him into bed the first time that is the trick!

So you don’t get: “OK Mommy, this time I will try *really really hard* to stay in bed, OK?”.
Followed shortly by “Well I *tried* but then I had to …”

He is too cute!

I know it seems crazy but enjoy all that lack of sleep. My boys at the ages of 12 and 15 go to bed and stay there!! Or I am up waiting for them!! A scary feeling sometimes.

El Fuzzo’s best: “I want cake”. Yeah, me too. Too bad we don’t have any already made up. Shoot.

Then there were the Closet Monsters. We got rid of the Under-The-Bed Monsters with a can of Aveda Brilliant hairspray. Don’t ask. That situation created the infamous “Scary-Mommy-Monster” incident. We don’t talk about that anymore.

Done — of course would go to that session. I need to sign up before it sells out.

My girls have started the bedtime stalling and it drives me nuts. I need to start the routine at 4 pm so they are actually in bed by 7:30.

So…I can’t relate to this. At all. My boys never get out of bed. What do you think you’re doing wrong? If you need any advice, just cawl me. MA HA HA HA!

Oh and p.s. How adorable is he? Can’t get mad at that face!

I think my children and him are sharing some lines there… He’s so cute though, how could you not just cuddle him up?!?

I get the same lines at quiet time. I gave up on her taking a nap, and for awhile she was OK with having some down time in her room, and now she gives me all these excuses not to anymore.

My daughter was a vampire from birth. She woke when the sun went down, and did not go to sleep voluntarily until sunrise.

She and I watched The Late Show, The Late Late Show, The Early Early Show and The Early show for what seemed like years.

She’s 33 now and STILL, by preference, comes to life at 5:00 p.m. Incidentally, her knowledge of old movie trivia is encyclopedic.

I have been suffering from sleep deprivation since 1977. Good luck with Jack — a handsome young man.

Great photo. When my kids were little it was always “I need a band aid”. Our house was the HOUSE OF BAND AIDS, and it still is. My kids are now 19 and 15. So it appears it will never change.
