I figured it out — I keep waking up at night because the temperature in the house is above freezing! So now I’ve equipped the kids with winter jammies and set the air conditioning to SIXTY-EIGHT DEGREES all night long! Glorious sleep. How I’ve missed you…
Of course this plan is not without pitfalls. For example, Chip feels that footie pyjamas are the work of the devil. As in he screams for 5 minutes, throws himself face-down on the floor, attempts to rip them off his feet. I think I distracted him last night, though, by complimenting him on his nice shoes. Take That, toddler!
I’d say “Chip, I like your new shoes!” He’d look at his feet quizzically and wonder to himself if they actually might be shoes. This bought me enough time to distract him with something else “Did I hear a truck go by??” and he promptly forgot about the offending PJs. Phew.
