Silly Things We Say / Do #2
This happened about two weeks ago during Noah’s growth spurt, in which he woke up every two or three hours for milk at night.
After yet another exhausting night, I was trying to go back to sleep at about 7am when C woke up, looked at me and said happily, “Hey! He slept through the night!”
Me: What? This is the fifth time I’ve woken up already! You just slept through it all…
A few days later, after I had gotten Noah to fall asleep after nursing him, C woke up and asked, “He just woke up for milk?”
Me: Yes, this is the second time I’ve woken up tonight already.
C: Huh? Second time only? I’ve woken up five times already! You just slept through it all…
Me: (thoroughly confused due to the lack of sleep) How’s that possible? I didn’t hear him and YOU did? How did you get him to go back to sleep without milk?
C: Hahaha.
It then dawned on me that he was trying to be funny by repeating what I said the previous night. Duh. There’s no way he would have been able to (a) hear Noah fussing if I didn’t and (b) get him to go back to sleep on his own!
