The sun has set, the children are in bed and I sit on my couch enjoying the few hours of freedom before I sleep and start over. Yet, while I sit I still hear little feet running back and forth from his bedroom to mine. It is the challenge of the "Try to sneak into Mommy's room and fall asleep before she is aware of anything" game. A yell from above from the older sibling tattling on the younger one ensues while the bounding back to the other side of the house begins.
It is a race. Will he make it into bed before I go up and reprimand his behavior?
Of course he will, because Mommy is too tired to run up and down the stairs all night. If he does win the game and fall asleep in my room, the quiet will return and my freedom will begin once again.
