things that go bump in the night
Kenny has been in his big boy bed for a week or two now, and it's going pretty well. Or it was. So I will preface this story by saying I have no recollection of the events I am about to describe.
Apparently, over the last two nights, Overboard (and myself, so she claims), have been awoken in the middle of the wee hours by the sound of an odd "thump" in Kenny's room. Upon closer inspection, Overboard has discovered a confused toddler no longer in his bed, but rather, sitting (or in the case of last night, standing) on the floor.
Both times, Kenny was helped back into bed, quickly soothed, and all was well. Or so says Overboard. I can't corroborate her story because I don't remember any of it. What can I say? I'm a heavy sleeper and when awoken in the middle of deep slumber, can do things (such as help small children, hold conversations, and perform feats of strength) while remaining 90% unconscious. It's a gift.
I feel terrible that I have slept right through my son unknowingly testing the laws of gravity in the middle of the night. However, I'm curious as to how he's doing this, since we have a bed guard in place and he doesn't seem to be messing with it.
Maybe tonight I'll line the floor around his bed with pillows. Then I can sleep soundly knowing he's okay, instead of just sleeping soundly.
