....my head is going to explode!
Oh and I couldn't get Alex to sleep. It was me, Alex (my nearly 2-year-old nephew) and Liisa, my friend. My sis had gone to the forest to pick another batch of berries (we're like squirrels collecting winter supplies) and I had the mighty job of putting Alex in bed for his afternoon nap.
So I fed him, changed the nappy and took him to bed with me. Liisa stayed outside, sunbathing. He was almost asleep when Liisa came in to say she's heading home for her afternoon nap. And it did the trick. He started crying. And there was no stopping, because he all of a sudden realised, that mammy was not around!
So I danced around with him and sang and played and got him happy again and went for another try. As soon as we hit the bed, crying started again. I pulled out The Sheep and my best impressions of animal voices and we played with the remote controls in the livingroom. That was an hour and a half after we first tried sleeping and he was hungry again. Mostly because the first time he was too busy fooling around and the eating didn't work out too well.
We had another round of lunch and tried sleeping again.
Nothing.
Remote control seemed to calm him down the most.
Sister, where are you!?
Two and a half hours after we started the sleeping saga, his mammy arrived home, we were still on the sofa playing with the remote control, she took him to bed and three minutes later he was asleep.
We'll do it again tomorrow.
By the by, tomorrow is Market Day again ;)
