Mommy!
No…
I wish to sleep.
Tre snuggles are sweet;
The kisses are too.
But still…
Rest calls my name.
Blankets, I hide,
Until she saw me.
She throws,
My warmth away!
No longer counting sheep.
Daddy has planned a treat.
Baby flew up the stairs;
Cozy bed calls to me.
Body relaxes and chills.
My tense flame;
Inside has subsided.
Sleep…
Bright flashing glow;
Stings my eyes.
Again baby is tugging;
Wailing and screaming.
Sleep was a lie;
I’ve been duped.
Her smile is gleaming.
All I can do,
Is sigh.

This actually happened to me yesterday morning. She woke up at 6:50am. Our sleep schedule is already wonky and I’ve been trying to slowly work my self back to a respectable wake up hour. We have gotten to 7:40am. Like clockwork. My body has been waking up exactly at 7:40.
So when she woke up at 6:50am…no amount of kisses were going to make me wake up.
But I think the worst part was, I fought her for maybe 15min before the hubby got up with her. Then I probably laid there for another 20min trying to fall asleep again.
But then like clockwork. 7:40am came by and she was blasting me with lights. It’s amazing when two year olds know. They just know….
Enjoy your Sunday! Fall is here! 🍂🍁

Fall is here!
