Dad is out of town in London and has been all week. After a wonderful party the day before, the kiddies were just plain tired...as was I. Unfortunately, I didn't sleep so w know well and was up at 2pm reading a book during this sleepless night of mine. All of a sudden the house alarm went off (my biggest fear!)!!
I called 911...i was so scared but had to be strong for not only myself but also the kids. The operator tried to talk me through everything, I tried to reassure the kids. Sophia was crying and Henry was shaking...they obviously just did not understand. The kiddies did not want to go back to THEIR beds. So we all hopped into our bed. It was fun, for about 5 minutes...
I laid on my side, Henry in the middle, Sophia on Dad's side. Sophia understood this was a rare experience so she truly tried to be accommodating and agreeing, 'yes mommy, i am going to sleep!'. Henry, you were just stunned at your new sleep surrounding. As you gnawed on stinky froggie, you just looked at everything in the room as if you had never seen it before! Asking questions...trying to be funny by sticking froggie in my face, etc. I laughed, it was fun. However, after an hour i had to convince you to go to your room...Off you went! Sophia woke me up bright in the morning.
As frightening as the night had been, esp without Cecil in the house, I was happy to have my kiddies right next to me...
Henry...happy birthday to you little man. We had a very nice day and luckily Dad came home that night! Presents come tomorrow...
In our bed, post alarm...2:30am
