5 Things That Are Better Than Sleep

Don’t be fooled, he’s pretending to sleep.

Both of my children seem to have decided that sleep is for suckers. Especially between the hours of 12:30 and 3:00 a.m. What you may ask, do a two year old and a four month old do instead of sleep, and can I participate? Well, finally, the answer to your burning question. Here are the five things that are better than sleep in the wee hours of the morning.

1. Practice your rodeo hand for your first mechanical bull ride. This is a particular interest of my four month old and a very good way to keep yourself awake when you otherwise run the risk of drifting off into sleep.
2. Roll onto your stomach and become instantly angry that you can’t roll back..
3. Beg for milk, M and Ms, “fisheys,” and to get “off” in no particular order.
4. Kick the wall with such force that your crib slides across the room. Continue kicking until you can no longer reach the wall.
5. Lie about poop.

 

So, there you have it, if you find yourself wondering about what to do in the middle of the night, try one of the options above. Or make up your own. Just don’t give my kids anymore ideas.
