We're still going through a heat wave here. Yesterday was by far the worst. It was 97 degrees during the day and 83 degrees in our house at 7pm. We couldn’t get Dom’s room to cool down because the air outside was so HOT and HUMID! It was nasty and wasn’t making my cold feel any better.
Finally Rob put a fan at Cub's bedroom door, pointing towards his crib and I took of his jammies so he could sleep in his diaper. He actually fell asleep without any problem. But he woke up at midnight, I think he was scared by the loud whooshing noise the fan was making. I brought him into our bed where he insisted that he wanted to watch Shrek. I had to explain to him that its was still night night time and we could watch it in the morning.
After about 30 mins he finally started to settle down and was ready to sleep. He shifted around, trying to find the most comfy position. Lucky for me, that ended up being snuggled up to me. Then he whispered "Mommy, hush baby please." Did my kid just request a song? This isn't Woostock my friend. "Mommy, sing hush baby please." Well, he did say please. I started sing "hush a my baby, on the tree top. When the wind blo..." Interputing me he said "Mommy, my shirt." I don't think Mariah Carey has this many demands, but I was happy to do it.
So nestled up in my arms, I sang my baby to sleep while fanning the back of his shirt. Every now and then i would nod off back to sleep int he middle of the song and he's wake me up to keep going. Finally, he fell asleep and I did too.
It’s just as hot today too, which doesn’t make me happy. Hopefully this heat wave is close to being over.
