Tonight I missed housegroup, one of my only sources of adult conversation, because Jeremy wouldn't go to sleep. Here are the reasons why, in his own words:
Reasons 1-10: Losta bankit, Mummy! ('Lost' wasn't entirely accurate, though, as he was flinging it over the side of the cot).
Reason 11: Bag gone. (Yes, he had somehow managed to remove his sleeping bag and was standing up with it around his ankles.)
Reason 12: Wockin chair peeease. (So we rocked for a bit)
Reason 13: Help! (He had tried to remove the bag again, but got stuck with one foot through an arm hole having not succeeded in undoing the poppers)
Reason 14: Abi! Want a Abi! (Abi has gone to sleep, why don't you go there too and find her?)
Reason 15: Losta bankit.
Reason 16: Wockin chair 'gain.
Reason 17: Brief tickle fight. (The only alternative to throwing him out of the window.)
Reason 18: Singa song Mummy.
Reason 19: Not at song. Nother song.
Reason 20: No 'leep.
Finally got downstairs to make myself my first cup of tea of the day. Kettle boiled just as housegroup finished.
Cheesed off.
