Last week, I'm not sure why, but Tayshaun had a few sleepless nights. Whenever I hear him talking or crying to his sleeping-self, I wake him and put him in my bed. But he's just so hard to sleep with that I try to avoid it. I can guarantee you that it's not fun to wake up in the middle of the night from a fist or wrist falling on your sleeping face or from a heel pushed into your waist.
So this week, I heard him stirring in his bed and I made myself ignore his mumbling and fall back to sleep. Later, I woke up from a sensation that someone was watching me sleep. Well, I woke up to Tayshaun standing right beside my bed. He tells me, "Mom, I want a Karate sandwich." I don't know how many times I've just giggled at things that come out of Tayshaun's mouth. I asked him what a Karate sandwich was. He got a little frustrated and just repeated his request. So I asked him if he was hungry. And he told me no. So I walked him back to his bed - which he did willingly.
A few nights later, the same routine. I woke up to him standing beside my bed. He told me, "Mom, guess what... I made it to the next level." I asked him, "what next level?" He told me, "In WII." So I praised him and walked him back to his bed.
So weird. He talks in his sleep alot. If I weren't half asleep myself, I'd jot down what he says. But instead, I just laugh and fall back to sleep.
