This morning the alarm on the smoke detector in Sydney's room went off just before 6am. Not exactly the sound you want to hear, especially in your child's room. The culprit??? The vapourizer that we had running for her cold. The night before she was up coughing from 4am to 5am & yesterday didn't really nap because she kept coughing. So, last night we put the vapourizer in. Brad hates using them because he hates the moisture they create in the room & create mold concerns. I must say that the alarm did nothing to add to his interest in using them, but until the alarm went off Sydney had a good sleep!
Of course, Brad & I go running in to her room & she looks up at us & says "Mommy & Daddy in my room!" I am not sure if she was really aware of the loud beeping coming from her room before that or not. She then wanted to lie on the couch with me, rather than going back to sleep. We compromised with me lying down in her bed while she was supposed to go to sleep in her crib. Of course, that didn't happen- she just sang & talked until I finally relented & figured we might as well get up. I sure hope she naps at Jo's today!!!
Thankfully Jason did not wake up to the alarm, which is pretty amazing since I had just put him back to bed 20 minutes before the alarm went off. He slept until his current "usual" of 8:30am. For the past 3 days he has gone down for a nap a couple hours after getting up & slept for about 3 hours which has been so wierd for me. Of course each day I spent each minute expecting him to wake up & never really got into anything major. Today I had my little list prepared for what I was going to do while he napped, but today has not gone as smoothly as yesterday. He is still napping, but he keeps waking up & needs some "SHHHHH" whispered in his ear to get him settled & back to sleep. I think he too has caught Sydney's cold (how could he not when she talks to him about 2 cm from his face) and as a result breathing is a little more challenging for him.
Tomorrow Grandma & Papa are watching him in the morning while I take Sydney to a Halloween party with her friends, so I really hope he naps for them & doesn't wake up freaking out because his Mom has disappeared.
(If I can convince Brad to ever use the vapourizer again, I think we will take the batteries out of the smoke detector in the bedroom so that we do not have a repeat performance of this morning.)
