Bed Bugs
Once again MFH is on a long fishing weekend.
Once again The Boy is sleeping on daddy's side of the bed.
At 1:05 a.m. I awaken to a tap tap on my shoulder.
"Mommy, I had a nightmare about ladybugs."
"Really? What happened?"
"There was really big daddy ladybugs and mommy ladybugs on a paper plate."
"What were the ladybugs doing on a paper plate?"
"Sleeping."
"And that's exactly what you should be doing, little one. Goodnight."
I discovered that he whispers in his sleep. And every night he takes a water bottle of ice water to bed with him, which he drinks from throughout the night. Obviously I did not get a full night's sleep.
I feel like we're making progress, though. He didn't lay next to me and stare at me while I was trying to sleep.
That's just creepy.

:( I never thought ladybugs could be creepy, but mamb has me convinced.
The whole staring at one while trying to sleep though -- it's so creepy you made me laugh out loud.

I grew up surrounded by pine trees. If you've ever seen ladybug mating season, you'd be scared of them - millions of them, clustered on the branches of the pines everywhere.
And then when I was eight, I found out they can carry lyme disease. I ran inside every time I saw a ladybug

I love the ladybug story and yes, kids or anyone watching you while you sleep is creepy
