Megan, can I please borrow your toothpicks?

My friend Megan is the best with her witty explanations of life with a toddler. Poor Megan has dealt with her fair share of sleepless nights and has often used toothpicks to hold up her eyelids, right Megan? Actually, I should rephrase that to “unfair” share! HAHA Well, we have two sleepless nights in a row for this week so far. Not sure what’s going, but poor little Sydney is all messed up right now. Tuesday night into Wednesday morning she woke up around 4:00a and didn’t fall back to sleep until my alarm went off at 5:50am. Great way to start your day! Haha Then again last night she woke around 2:00am and then last kick I remember was around 3:30am. I’ve always been really strict about letting her sleep in our bed, normally I would sleep anywhere but our bed, her floor, her chair, living room floor you name it, just not our bed. But the last two nights we gave in and laid her down in our bed between us where she would spend the next hour or so rolling around until she would find that perfect spot to finally drift off. By the way that spot is usually somehow on me. I think she knows just what to do now to make me laugh, just when I think I had enough I roll over to face away from her thinking I can somehow get comfortable on the 6 inches of mattress that’s left and then I feel this little hand on my shoulder with increased pressure with her lean as if she’s checking me to see if I’m really sleeping. I had to laugh, but not wanting to draw anymore attention I contained myself. So this morning as I showered …with my eyes close and only a night light on… literally…I tried to think what might be the problem, then I remembered, when we brushed her teeth the day before I noticed her upper I teeth coming in. For what I have heard, those are not fun to get in. It would explain her runny nose and slight fever she had yesterday morning. We been SO fortunate with her sleeping habits and teething and if we have a couple more sleepless nights, I can deal…now Daddie’s another story. I don’t know what worse sometimes, Staying up with Sydney or dealing with Jeremy the next day with no sleep. Haha I think f we have another sleepless night tonight, Mommie and Sydney are going to camp out in the living room. We’ll give Daddie a break for the night. So when you curl up tonight already to go off to dream land, think of us! And count your blessings! Love you all!
