OMG You Guys, So Tired
She went to the zoo and I went back to bed
If I have one more early start with an excited child at the edge of my bed…
BW and I are at the kitchen table tonight, asking ourselves why are we so tired?
Then it dawns us - Easter lasted 3 days here.
Day 1. Easter Dinner in Canada = excited child at edge of bed at 6am
Day 2. The Easter Bunny Came = super-excited child at edge of bed at 5am.
Day 3. The first day of Zoo Camp = super-excited child at edge of bed at 6am
That explains it.
This morning was the first day of spring break so the options were to listen to some kid explain minecraft moves in the most annoying voice over tinny tablet speakers for a week straight - or send the child to camp and get her out of the house and touching grass (and snakes, and bunnies too apparently)
We chose the grass option.
She came home with stories about how her bread was soggy on her sandwich BW made her and it was “disgusting” and also a leaky water bottle and wet pants and wet artwork as you can see above.
But despite the water incident and the less than desirable lunch she had a fantastic time and told us how she touched a snake, a cheetah skin and other such zoo-like activities that did not require minecraft.
Personally , I don’t know how she’s been functioning on so little sleep. It’s 9:30 pm and she just came downstairs to show me how her PJ’s glow in the dark. I told her she’s going to see her old man glow in the dark if she doesn’t go to bed right now.
I was thinking just the other day how we’ve got the bedtimes sorted out here but it turns out I was wrong in so many ways because as it stands right now a good night’s sleep for anybody in the house is just a dream.
Dreaming about a child that sleeps in,
TH and Co.
