So this is how it went down.....
Virginia religiously goes to bed at 7 p.m. She has maybe once or twice not gone to bed on time when we put her down.
Monday night, she was restless. We put her down at 7ish. She screamed bloody murder. We got her out. She sat for a while. Played for a while. We gave her some milk and tried to put her back down around 7:45. No go. Not having it. So we got her back out. She sat in her new chair for about 40 minutes. Just looking at us.
At 8:30...I said that I was going to bed....it is winter time (kind of....).....
Joe: Should we take her to KidMed?
Allison: Ok. Huh. What for?
Joe: Maybe she is sick.
Allison: What would we say to them?
Joe: Maybe she has an ear infection. Or that she is sick.
Allison: So....you are going to bundle her up and take her to KidMed at night....and say that she has not gone to bed yet since she normally goes down at 7:00 but it is 8:30. You are going to tell them that you brought her there because she would not go to sleep an hour ago. Well....that is something.....
Joe: (silent.....crickets chirping................)
Shame. She was fine. No doctor...that girl was just testing her limits. And apparently has broken bad at daycare. She has been standing on the chairs and been quite feisty when told to get down. Naughty. Uh oh.....and here it comes. We have been waiting for it.... sweet girl.........

Poor Joe--- Hey, I can understand his thinking.... I remember when Benjamin was little and we were at the beach with my folks for a week-- It was around Thursday- Benjamin had some sunburn, he wasn't sleeping well, he wasn't eating well, and he was super cranky--- Mom wanted us to take him to the doctor at the beach-- I was like you-- "Mom, what would we tell the doctor???? He is tired and cranky???" Ummmmmmmm.
ReplyDeleteThat's okay- we just worry when they aren't themselves, right!?!
Love, Kim
