Creative nighttime parenting

Jordy slept with us last night because he was restless and truly it was easier than getting up umteen dozen times to stumble to his room.  At one point during the night we were wakened from a deep sleep to Jordan yelling, "I not buckled, I not buckled".  It didn't matter how many times I assured him he was okay and not in his carseat... the rest of the episode went something like this...

Me:  Do you want Mummy to buckle you up?
Jordy:  Yeah (in his sweet, mostly-asleep but slightly frightened voice)
Me: Click, click, click, click (while pretending to buckle his shoulder and waist straps).  Is that better?
Jordy:  Yeah (in his sweet, mostly-asleep relieved voice)

Whatever it takes to get everyone back to sleep :)

Happy Monday!

So sweet!! I love that you've written it down. I am so bad for doing that and then I don't remember.
