My boy had a brilliant idea as I was tucking him in tonight...
The boy: Why don't you wake me up at the stroke of 11:00, not a minute later?
Me: Why would I do that?
The boy: Well, I might like to wake up and chat a little bit and possibly have a snack.
Me: Oh, really...
The boy: Will you do it? Will you wake me up?
Me (knowing that it would be nearly impossible to wake him): Of course. I promise I will come in and TRY to wake you up. But what happens if I can't get you to open your eyes? Will you be upset?
The boy: Don't worry, Mom. I will wake up for sure.Me: Ok. You hurry off to sleep and I will come get you in a little bit.
For the record, at the stroke of 11:00, I went into the boy's room to do his bidding. I even climbed in bed with him, messed with his hair, and kissed his little rosy cheeks. Instead of waking up, he started to snore.
I have to admit that I was a little disappointed. I was really looking forward to all of that chatting and snacking.
