Sleep Deprivation

Dec 8, 2009 by cafebebemama

As any parent knows, the first few years have got to be the hardest with regard to sleep deprivation.  We’ve been struggling for 18 months…I say “we”, I mean ME.  It’s not horrible and it’s not every night but most nights I’m up several times to soothe Little Miss back to sleep.  I know, it’s my own fault…yeah, yeah, yeah.  Well, I’m working on a plan for 2010…we’ll see how successful I am.

I wrote a post last week, Do You Hear What I Hear, where I asked if your partners hear the children in the night or if it’s only us lucky Mummies who do.  I had quite a few responses, most of which confirmed that yes, it is the Mummies with the ultra-sonic hearing and the Olympic sprinter speed to launch oneself from the bed.  I’m training for 2012 with some other Mummies now…we’ll kick the rest of the world’s butt.  At any rate, my Mum shared a video on Facebook and I found it utterly hysterical and would readily welcome my husband to attempt to replicate it.  I attempt to share it with you:
