I was up at 4am feeding Kyson and all of a sudden I hear Trysten say "Gavin! Wake up! The Birthday Monster came!"
Oh dear.
Gavin wakes up and I hear them both talking excitedly but I can't make out what they are saying. Then they came out into the hall and I hear Trysten say "Let's take off the balloons!"
"No, No!" yells Gavin.
I am sitting in bed praying that this nice little middle of the night party will end soon and they will realize they need to go back to sleep.
Kyson is done eating, thank goodness, so I go into their room trying to think of a way to make them go back to sleep. How could they think of doing such a thing when they have just found what the Birthday Monster has left them?
Thank goodness my half awake mommy brain thought up something fast. I told them that it was the middle of the night and if they did not go back to bed then the Birthday Monster will come back and take everything down. I didn't think that was going to work but it did and they got their giddy little bums back in bed (telling me stories of the Birthday Monster while I tucked them back in) and surprisingly went back to sleep.
Dear Birthday Monster,
Next time it might be a good idea to close the door when you leave a nice little present for us.
Oh, and thank you for picking up Trysten off the floor when he fell out of bed. He told me all about that, and how you are orange with Tarheel blue spots all over and were all nice and hairy.
What a nice guy.
