Entry FeedYesterday the boys convinced Daddy to "camp" with them in the backyard. They pitched the tent, removed the mattress from the pull-out couch, took their pillows and comforters and went to sleep under the stars.
Son Two fell asleep before they even made it outside. Husband picked him up and placed him in the tent anyway, knowing how disappointed he would be to wake up in his own bed.
Daughter was super excited about sleeping in a tent as she has never done it before. I went out in my nightgown to say good-night, and she wanted me to stay. My guess is that it is a two person tent - there were already 4 of them in there. And though a few of them are small, it would be pushing it. (It is an amazing tent - it even comes with a doggy door!)
At 10:20 pm, Husband brought Daughter inside, still awake. She fell asleep in my arms a few minutes later.
The boys enjoyed themselves, and Daddy even made them special pancakes for breakfast this morning. They claim that they will be sleeping in the tent again tonight. At least it makes for a quiet night in the house.
Youre so correct. Im there with you. Your blog is definitely worth a read if everyone comes across it. Im lucky I did simply because now Ive got a whole new view of this. I didnt realise that this problem was so critical and so universal. You absolutely put it in perspective for me.
