Long Night

So – I missed my Sunday night blog post last night. Too much laundry hanging over my head, so the laundry won! It will happen (hopefully) tonight, but – I just had to post this now to recap our night (overnight) last night beofre I forget it. We were up 3 times – Kevin went in when Riley was crying and then I went in when Ryan was crying. I didn’t get the recap of Kevin’s visit because I was trying my hardest not to really wake up. But I made a point to remember my talk with Ryan. When I went in he was crying for Daddy and the conversation went like this...

Me: Ryan – honey what’s wrong? Why are you crying?
R: Where’s Daddy?
Me: Daddy is in our room sleeping…like you should be.
R: Go get him.
Me: I’m not going to get Daddy, so please tell me what is wrong?
R: Watch a movie? (as he began to sit up and try to get out of his bed)
Me: We can’t watch a movie – it’s 3:30am! It’s time to go to sleep.
R: I go with you mommy. (hugging my neck tightly)
Me: You can’t go with mommy. You need to stay in your own bed like Riley and Daddy. Do you want mommy to stay in here with you for a minute before you go back to sleep?
R: oh yes mommy.
A few minutes passed and he was settled so I kissed him on the forehead…
Me: I love you bug!
R: My name is Ryan.
Me: (trying my very hardest not to laugh out loud.) You are right – I love you Ryan!
R: Love you too mommy. Night night.

What a sweet time – even if it was 3:30am! The 3rd time we were awakened was at 5:00am when the thunder began to roll and rattle our whole house. That time it was Sable that was scared. When my alarm went off at 5:38 I really thought it was a joke, but sure enough it wasn’t. I’m now on my second cup of coffee and hoping for a good nights’ rest tonight!
