7am:
Toddler: ‘Mummy… Mummy… Mummy… Mummy…
Me (who worked til 2am last night): ‘Back to sleep… it’s too early to get up…’
7.30am:
Toddler: ‘Mummy… Mummy… Mummy… Mummy…’
Me (croaks): ‘Yes?’
Toddler: ‘Mummy… Mummy… Mummy… Mummy…’
Me: ‘Shhhhhhhh, not so loud please. Mummy’s just woken up.’
Toddler: ‘MUMMY… MUMMY… MUMMY… MUMMY..!
Me (holding head): ‘Please stop saying Mummy… Mummy… Mummy…’
Toddler (slowly and deliberately, while staring me straight in the eye): ‘M-u-m-m-y… M-u-m-m-y… M-u-m-m-y…’
Oh dear God, is it only midday?????
Can I top trump you?
The calls for MUMMY in my house started at 5.43am !!!!
Oh, I hear you. I really do. Sleep well tonight!
I’m impressed that “back to sleep” works for half an hour! We can’t get away with that here. “No, I think it’s daytime” at 5.45! :-S
