Daddy's place!

Mousy’s been sick.

A raging stomach that won’t keep much down, or shoots it straight through.

4 am Saturday morning.

Sheets,

Blankets,

Bunnies

All in the Washing machine.

The mop has been rung to dry

We lay Stella down with mommy.

So there’s room enough, Daddy packs his pillow and blanket and moves into the kids room.

(Thank goodness she has a big bed now.)

Saturday, stella is still out of it.

She and mommy lay down together for an afternoon nap.

Sleeping in mommy and daddy’s bed has let to the following discussion at bedtime.

Daddy: “Stella, time to go up to bed”

Stella: “Stella sleep in mommy’s bed?”

Daddy: “no you can sleep in your bed tonight.”

Stella: “but I want to sleep in Mommy’s bed!”

Daddy: “And where is daddy going to sleep?”

Stella: “In Stella’s bed!”

One step away from the doghouse I’d say.

Oh wait, the dog still gets to sleep in our bed.

Fortunately tiredness overtakes,

Memory is short.

We cuddle,

She crashes in her bed.
