Jake woke at 3am last night with a coughing fit. Of course, once he had woken the little lamb didn’t want to sleep. I brought him into our room and tried to get him to go back to sleep. He wasn’t happy with this idea and started asking for ‘mok’ and ‘medcin’. I thought it wouldbe better if Amy went into the other room so at least she could get to sleep.
I snuggled Jake under the bedclothes and told him to relax while I got the mlik and medised. He wanted the milk in bed with him. I guess it was a bit like a hot water bottle. He kept chatting away for a quite a while. Then I heard that word “out”. This means he wants to get out of bed. I told him that if he didn’t want to go to sleep them he would have to go back into his own bed. Daddy was tired after all!! He agreed to this so again he snuggled under the bedclothes. I told him to think about all the animals names that he knew and sang a little song. After this he said “more” so I sang again. Within 10 minutes or so he was asleep, or did I fall asleep? I’m not really sure :-).
