Just My Tots

There are 4 bedrooms in my house.
3 are furnished
a) 1 with a king sized bed + playpen bb cot
b) 1 with queen sized bed + playpen bb cot
c) 1 with queen sized mattress

There are 4 person in my house yesterday night. 2 adults + 1 toddler + 1 baby.

And everyone slept in room (c), on the queen sized mattress.

Bryan is down again, this time is cough with a mild runny nose. It started on Saturday and we noticed that it got worse yesterday. He was coughing quite constantly last night, so I asked hubb to sleep in the same room with us – to help take care of Bryan/ Dylan if necessary.

Why didn’t we sleep in the other room?
1) Dylan don’t sleep in the playpen bbcot at night, he co-sleeps with me.
2) Bryan still insists that I sleep with him
3) Bryan doesn’t want to sleep anywhere else except his own room. He wants the room with “star-light” one.

So no choice, all 4 of us have to squeeze onto his queen sized bed, in the other direction of course, ie with our legs sticking out at the end. The kids slept fine as they occupy whatever space they need. It is just adult that have to sleep in the weird angle.

And it is good that hubb slept with us as Bryan coughed so bad in the middle of the night (3am) that he woke up and vomited. Good thing, hubb was prepared with a potty to catch the mess. But it was hard for Bryan to get back to sleep due to the cough. So I massaged Vicks on his chests & back constantly and he asked me to pat his chest. And because of the commotion, Dylan woke up. I nursed him for a while but Bryan demanded that I attend to him. He refused to let his daddy pat him.

OK, since he is not feeling well, he gets the priority. It was hard to get Dylan back to sleep with Bryan coughing away loudly. So hubb took Dylan to the master bedroom and tried to get him back to sleep.

Bryan only fell asleep at abt 5am, and Dylan was still awake. The earlier feeding wasn’t enough. He looked kinda pleased to see me. So I took him back to Bryan’s room, nursed him and soon he was back to Zzz-land.

I think I really have to stop blogging good news.

P/s: Bryan was still coughing very badly this morning. Initially I did not want to send him to school but he cried and threw a huge tantrum. I had no choice but to go back home and send him to school. I told his teacher that I will bring him home if his cough is very bad. His teacher called me at 10:30am and told me that he hardly coughed, so I need not worry. Hmm…that playful boy. Get to play then forget that he is sick liao.
