Like most parents, I count down to bed time like nothing else. If the kids are up past 7pm my parenting slips, significantly. It would appear however, that my job does not stop once they are in bed. Sophie has always had the trick of stripping off her PJ's once tucked in safely for the night and now Elliott is cottoning onto the trick too. So as I head off to bed, I check on the kids one last time and I am always amused by what I find...
What you see here is the most gorgeous little toosh ever! A snapshot I took a few nights ago of Elliott wearing his nappy as a hat. I think I shall start stapling the nappy on because there is nothing worse than changing wet sheets in the middle of the night!
As for Sophie, she is utterly obsessed with being pregnant. Day or night she is stuffing dolls and teddies up her shirt in an effort to look the part. Over the past few months she has been quite creative with her pregnancy pursuits once tucked into bed for the night. She has had a teddy nearly larger than her stuffed up her shirt and into her boxer shorts (needless to say, they are now stretched beyond repair) whilst laying sound asleep on a blanket on the floor...presumably her hospital bed. She has worn jumpers as pants so she can stuff as many dolls as possible in there and she has even snuck into my room and swiped things like belts and togs to wear and stuff babies in. Every time I find her she is asleep and I have no idea how she finds it remotely comfortable! Last night when I went to check on her, she had tried something new...
This is the giant teddy, nearly bigger than her, and she appears to have been riding it like a horse and then fallen asleep. She did manage to strip off her PJ's too of course! Oh goodness, what will you come up with next Sophie??!!
