Missing Bridget

So, Bridget is Out of town. I get to take care of the kiddos while she is gone. Last night I learned a valuable lesson.

Since Bridget was not there, I asked ELI if he wanted to sleep in Dada's bed. Not only did he want to sleep there, he wanted to sleep on my side. I let him.

He is Truly MY SON: he thrashes and tosses and turns. He also sleeps on his side and stomach.

Here is the time line of last night:

7:30 Eli goes to bed

10:30 I go bed

12:20 Eli hits my nose

1:20 He kicks me in the chest

2:00 I go to the bathroom

2:30 Eli inadvertently kicks me in the groin with the force of a soccer player

3:00 The pain subsides

4:00 Eli says "dada, wake up." I said, "Eli go back to sleep it is still dark outside"

Eli continues to toss and turn until 4:30

4:30 "dada wake up, no more dark outside."

"Eli, Please go back to sleep I am tired"

Eli tosses and turns

4:45 he holds my hand and falls asleep

5:30 He kicks me in the head.

6:15 Dora wakes up.

Needless to say, he will not be sleeping with me tonight. But it was pretty cute at 7 when he got up, "Dada! Me Wake UP!"
