I have a new co worker that is experiencing his first baby. He comes in eacbh day bleary eyed and tired from lack of real sleep. He asked me how long before the baby sleeps through the night, I had to be honest and tell him my son was 7 before he slept all night without waking me up.
He was flabbergasted but I reassured him that it was a fluke and his kid would probably be sleeping all night real soon.
It reminded me of when my son was about 4 years old and I had been up repeatedly for the past few nights going into his room and telling him to be quiet as we were trying to get some sleep! Gently reassured him and lulled him back to sleep.
One saturday night my ex-wife and I were getting a little frisky and were making a little too much noise when all of a sudden the bedroom door swings open and standing there in the hallway light with his hands on his hips glared my son yelling, "Ya'll hold it down in here I'm trying to get some sleep!' Spins on his heels and slams the door shut behind him as he exits...
we nearly died laughing!
