Shokufeh is... home

I hope the whole year of two doesn't go this way

Remember how I said I don't thrive on lack of sleep? Remember how I said I wanted to squeeze in time with MrMan? I think he really wanted to test both of those things. After I put myself to bed at 2:00 this morning, I was awakened a mere few hours later. At the latest, it was 5 am. By a boy who usually sleeps until 7 am.

Here, Mee, let me whine about my pajama pants - on! off! midway! Push! I know I've joined you here in your bed, that I'm your guest, but I don't know how I feel about actually sharing the space with you. Let me stick my toes up your nose. Dee, do you need to be kicked in the back? Light! We must have light in here! I will not stop whining until the light is turned on! Let me play with the CD player. Oh, the music is a bit relaxing. But not relaxing enough! I am no longer pleased with the dinosaur pajama pants I chose last night. You must open the chest of drawers and get my car pajama pants. I will lie on my pallet on the floor. I will whine as I climb in my own bed. It's mine, you know! I will now escape into the bathroom, carrying the car pajama pants and two stuffed bears. Oh, no, it's the end of the world - the pajama pants have fallen to the floor! I am fearless, I have now kept myself, and my parents, awake for an hour. Let me wander farther. Oh, MamanJan is awake and in the den. I will stumble into the den and climb onto this chair, curl up and stick my bottom, still with no pants, in the air. Okay, done with that! Feed me! Yes, I will wait a little longer. I will pretend to snuggle with you, let you start to fall asleep again. Just kidding! I cannot wait!

And so it went. Wait, did I say I wasn't looking forward to the time away?
