It’s really difficult to put Sherilyn to sleep, both during the day and at night. Last night, I had a few assignments to churn out before they expire today. So after laying on the bed for about 20 minutes with Alycia and Sherilyn, I got up and peeped at Alycia and Sherilyn. In the dark, both of them appeared to be asleep. Sherilyn was sucking her thumb contently and really appeared to be deep in her sleep. I then quietly tried to get up from the mattress on the floor when I heard Sherilyn saying innocently “mummy, what are you looking for?”. Shit…how did she know I was trying to leave the room? I ignored her and pretended to go back to sleep. Sherilyn has a habit of crying till she pukes in the middle of the night if she doesn’t see me in bed next to her. After about 15 minutes, Sherilyn finally drifted to slumberland and I tip-toed out of the room to downstairs to do my work on the computer.

i usually take up to an hour…..but yes, you can’t fool kids.
She’s very alert. It’s not easy, ya? Sometimes, I just dose off before my kids sleep.
ahhh…..she is just like Ashley. what happens when she wakes up in the middle of the nite and you are not there since you sleep in a different room?
Phaik Ling… wow, 1 hour! That’s long!
Jo-N…. i normally doze off first too but if I have assignments to complete, I try hard not to doze off.
Barb… if Sher wakes up in the middle of the night to find me not next to her, then she will walk to my room and I will then put her back to sleep on her bed. If I’m too tired to walk to her room, I’ll let her sleep with us on our king size bed 🙂
