Night Bird

Firstly many thanks to all your concerns regd my previous post. Yup the kids are doing better now, but I am still a bit tired & stressed....and sure....waiting for my break! ;p Have been very busy & hence havent managed to blog hop much...will catch up soon!

This post is dedicated to my 15 mth old daughter, who I think is a nite bird....and thanks to her father's strong genes for that! ;)

This happened a few nites ago, where I was waiting to sleep as it was already past 10. My son had just slept & thinking my daughter would also sleep early as she hadnt slept in the afternoon I turned off all lights waiting for her to sleep. Hubby said that he was gonna be late from work that nite. Hence not wanting to wait I decided all of us shd sleep esp as the next day was a working one.

But behold, my daughter, gets off the bed, goes around to the living room, dining room & other bedrooms all by herself in the darkness! She was even banging herself against things! So I switched on the corridor light while I was pretending to be asleep. I thot by doing so, she might follow suit! But no....she goes on strong...puts the mats on her head, comes near me & gives a big smile, tries to wake up her sleeping brother & continues to do her non-sense! Then she decides to take all of hubbies perfumes & starts to lick them up! *Yuck*

Tho I was enjoying her do all this I was getting a bit irritated too as I was sleepy & had a long day the next day. Her activities carried on for a while & thankfully hubby came after that & then the father & daughter spent time together for a while!

Then this other incident happened last nite. Hubby was trying to make her sleep & she refused to sleep as usual! She wld get on the bed & wld want to peep thru the window onto the road. So hubby wld raise his voice a bit & in an angered tone ask her to lie down. She wld do so, wait for further reaction from him & then throw her arms around him, kiss him & get up again!!!! And this cycle repeated for a around 5-6 times atleast!

She did the same to me as well...she got angry when I refused to give her my car keys & hence she pulled my hair. I screamed & immediately she pushes her lips in front & leans forward for me to show my cheek to get a peck from her! It was really so cute!

And on a separate note.....

Valentines day is round the corner. They seem to be celebrating the same in my son's skool. And he has been asked to come dressed in red or white. I am debating this to myself - is it right to be celebrating valentine's day @ this young age? When I was 4 I didnt even know such a day existed or what it meant! Ok valentines day can be celebrated with all the loved ones (including parents, siblings, friends etc) but still most of us consider only the "special" person to be a valentine. So was wondering is it right to induce such a thot into kids whilst they are so young? whats your thot?
