K. has a problem; he accidentally sits up while he is sleeping. Sometimes it happens after he's been asleep for 15 minutes and sometimes after several hours. Regardless, he apparently tries to roll over but uses his arms too much. This pushes him into a sitting position where he half way wakes up. This half way awake, however, is the half that is a screaming, crying, where is my body awake. It doesn't take much to get him back to sleep, just to lie him down and sometimes give him a pacifier but, the whole house is awake while this is happening. Last night, the accidental sit turned into an accidental stand. How on earth does a person stand up on accident? This is an answer that I don't have. But K. must have pushed himself up to sitting and I guess then onto standing. Then, he was wandering around his crib like a drunkard, half from the squishy crib mattress, half from being asleep. All the while, he was screaming at the top of his lungs. A pacifier, lovie, and someone laying his confused body back down and he was back asleep.
However, it was 5:30 am so A. was then wide awake. She does not go back to sleep with such ease. We decided to read some books in her bed so this groggy mama could wake up. We were reading Berenstain Bears Get the Gimmies. Now I know that Stan and Jan Berenstain were writing in the 80's, but were those little rides outside of a grocery store ever called a bucking airplane, frog, horse etc. etc. Stan and Jan called this particular ride outside of the grocery store a bucking frog. I think you know where this is going. I read bucking frog as fucking bog. A. then said, what is a fucking bog. I laughed which meant she repeated... again... and again... and again.
So, it's now 7:11 am, we've been up for 2 hours with confused cursing children. Oh happy day!
