I told my son that if he didn't stay in bed I would take his new Professor toy away from him for the night.
When he got out of bed I took the toy and said, "now you know you can trust me, good or bad".
He didn't see it that way.
I do what I say, he should too. Right?
This is what I want to know, how many of us parents snuggle with our children who have been put to bed numerous times because in the back of our minds we are considering the fast approaching time when our children will not want us?
I took the Professor toy, but stayed for snuggling. I told my son about my Dad and his snoring and that every night I found it difficult to sleep because his snores rattled our windows.
Sleep apnea isn't funny, but snoring is, especially to a 5 year old.
1 sign your pity:
I take toys too. Sometimes I freak out when I think about the time when my kids are grown up and I get so sad. Then I think about not waking up or going to bed until I want to, and I'm not as sad. :)
