I think Lil Shauna is trying to torture me. -________-" Every night, other than having to sing songs and jump around with her in the room/ on the bed, she will refuse to sleep despite coaxing. Fussing, turning, tossing, climbing up and down the bed, watch U tube, see her pix on my HP, until finally, she decided that it is that moment and can take less than 5 mins to drift to dreamland. Haiz.. And her poor parents are so comfortably settled in bed that they wish the princess would sleep soon so that they can have their turns. It is difficult almost every night.
Lil Shauna usually wakes up at about 7ish and would take her afternoon nap after class and lunch at about 1pm. My mum would attempt to wake her up at 3pm, if she is still sleeping. Her bedtime used to be 9.30pm. Recently, it has been shifted to 10 or even 10.30pm. We would bring the baby into the room at 9pm to create bedtime mood. Jaclyn probably has a better life than us when it comes to bedtime. I think she sometimes go to bed earlier than us bcos Lil Shauna is still insisting "no, no, no" to "orh, orh" time when we are already dead tired. Haha. By the time Lil Shauna sleeps, we dun really have much time left. Attempts to blog or do anything else will bring us close to midnight and kill us the next day. Haiz.
Last night, it was just as bad. We brought in her nap time Mickey Mouse mattress. The bed is getting a little tight with the growing baby, so one of us can sleep on the mattress. It is a short term solution. We are targeting to let Lil Shauna learn to sleep in her own room soon, with the maid. We are gg to share our agony with J soon. Hohoho.
After much You Tube, Lil Shauna wanted mummy to sing to her and would decide at one moment to sleep on Mickey Mouse mattress and the next, to sleep on the bed. So, there she is climbing up and down the bed. Well, that is actually quite fine by me if it tired her out. But she insists that Mummy has to come sleep together with her whenever she wants to sleep. Pappy cannot, it must be Mummy. -.o" She fusses and kicks and tug at my shirt if I pretend to sleep and ignore her. -.o" So, there I am, climbing up and down the bed with Lil Shauna as she changes her mind, while Pappy lies lazily on the bed, watching from afar. Not fair.
I was so glad when Lil Shauna decides that it is finally bedtime and fell asleep within 5 mins while I lie beside her on the Mickey Mouse mattress, singing "Rock a Bye Baby". Hohoho. Lil Shauna will now demand the bedtime songs that I sing and she can make me repeat the songs over and over and over again like a broken recorder or change song midway as if I have jumped track.
Wat can I say? I can only give thanks that Lil Shauna still prefers Mummy to Pappy and J. Hohoho. She must love me alot. ;p
