You'd probably have to hear it said at 3:30am to fully appreciate the hilarity of it all...but ever since we were visited by the Hey You Fairy a few nights ago, we've been laughing our butts off!
I mentioned here that Owen was sleeping in his big boy bed. The very night that post went out, the fluke of him staying in there came to a screeching halt! I knew I jinxed us!! That night, he had no interested in staying in his bed when we left the room. He wandered out, told us Hi and tried to dodge us to get to his living room toys. Around 11pm he finally was tired enough to actually fall asleep in his bed.
Jer and I made our way to bed and were both sleeping by 11:30 or so. We weren't sure what the rest of the night would bring, but we were pretty sure we hadn't seen the last of our escapee. Around 3:45 that same night I felt a familiar patting on my legs and looked down to find a blonde little monkey crawling up middle of our bed towards us. He was saying...Heeey You!!...Heeey You!!!...Heeey You!!!...repeatedly until he reached the pillows. When he got to the pillows he plopped down in between us. ***As an aside...one of the things I realized that I/we say to Owen when he would wake in his crib in the morning and wait for us to come and rescue him was....Hey You! Good Morning! How are you?? I also always ask him if he had good dreams and a few other things. But apparently he has the first thing down.*** After a few attempts at falling asleep in our room and going back to his bed, then a few more attempts at falling asleep in his bed with him, he finally made his way to our bed one last time. Hey You. Hey You. Hey You. All the way to our pillows. Luckily he did finally fall asleep with us...and that is where he stayed till 8:15am! What a little turkey!
The next night we were not awakened by Hey You until 6:45am. This time the greeting changed to Moning (with an emphasis on the ING) and sleeping till 8:15 was NOT an option! I'm just glad it was 6:45, not 3:45!
Having children is certainly an adventure! Thankfully in our case, it's an adventure that keeps us laughing...pretty darn...almost everyday!
