Last night – it was bed-putting time. Yes – that’s what it is in our house folks – bed putting! At least last night it was! It got to 7:30pm, and I had two extremely tired children on my hands. Now – my two girls share a bedroom (there’s a problem right there!). Madison (the one that is nearly three) wen to bed first, as a little punishment / thank-you for doing the exact opposite (again) of what I had asked her to do! Anyway – I thought she was just about to sleep – so I threw Mackenzie (not literally – I threw in a nice way!) into her cot. She went off to dreamland beautifully – (ohhh – it has taken 14 months of practice to get her to do that!) – and Madison – well she just got more and more annoyingly awake. The phone rang – so of course – she came out – right at the time when I was having a very important discussion on something that I can’t remember(!) – "muuuummm I want a bikskit "- not sic – just her way of saying it! I gently manouvered her back into bed. I thought we were doing well – up until I heard the giggle giggle of two little girl chatting to eat other. HAH. Anyway – I must admit – I probably over-reacted (but this had been the culmination of a bad, naughty day for Madison), and I marched in to Madison, and gave her a good ‘old fashioned’ SMACK! Oh god – I hate the look on her face after a smack – and the feeling I get is horrendous. Anyway – suffice to say -the smack didn’t work – would you believe I had to threaten another, before she would turn over and go to sleep! Meanwhile – Mackenzie is still bouncing up and down in her cot having a great old time! I think it might be time to put up some sort of ‘barrier’ between their beds – who knows what – maybe an iron grille!!!!!!
It’s 7:00am in the morning, and both are still asleep – so I must have done something right!
