Sensor On My Bed
June 29, 2008“Warning, warning, warning Ma is getting into bed!” That’s the message my 23 month old son gets every time I crawl into bed for the night. I really think at some point he snuck a sensor on my bed!
Most nights I crawl into bed about an hour before Ster. The idea is for me to get into bed and get some reading done as a way to unwind form the days events. I should say here that this rarely works out, because after I reset the sensor as it were I tend to pass out after about two minutes of reading. At that point Ster comes in, takes off my glasses, and turns out my night stand light. Ster is very sweet that way.
Now that sensor seems to go off right after I’ve crawled into bed, got the blanket and pillows just right, and picked out something to read. Kal starts out with a little wine that quickly grows to full out crying until I go to his room. I know what you are thinking: something is triggering his wake up like the sound in the house changes or he naturally wakes up at the same time. None of these work because as I’ve said Ster stays up and I don’t go to sleep at the same time every night. “IT’S A SENSOR I TELL YOU!” Now your thinking “She’s exaggerating it can’t be every night.” “IT IS EVERY NIGHT BECAUSE THE KID HAS A DAMN SENSOR ON MY BED!”
I can’t find the sensor to turn it off so I live with it. Some nights when my day has been pretty rough I think Oh dear lord no more please! On other nights like last night I lay in bed belly laughing for a minute. This crazy job of raising kids is full of tears and laughter and I try to savory every moment because I know it wont last long. He’ll be a man before I know it and he’ll get embarrassed when I tell pepole about the sensor he put on my bed.
Oh, and your right it’s not every night but it is most night. Also that sensor is about 85% accurate when it comes to sending out the “Warning, warning, warning mom and dad are about to have sex!” message.
Hit him. You gotta start early with the discipline…
In all seriousness, what do you normally do before you go to bed? How long is it between when you kiss him goodnight and when you crawl in to bed? Maybe there’s a correlation betwixt something you do and when you get in bed that triggers this?
And about the sex thing, none of us(except Marc) want to hear that. Kids have one purpose until they’re about 8: prevent all sex in the house!
Sweet Lou now you know the only reason you don’t want to hear about Ster and I having sex is because each and every one of you up at E.C. want my husbands ass. Don’t be jealous! Check out updates for the answer to sensor on my bed.
I can’t lie, he does have a nice ass.
It’s good to hear you figured out what the sensor was.
