@yummymummy5 I have been head butted, kicked in the face and throat, and aggressively smothered by an unconscious, extremely active sleeper 11 month old. Domestic violence, but make it bed sharing.
@yummymummy5 Nobody warns you that waking up to a beatific baby grin may by immediately followed by them cheerily latching onto your nose just to see what happens.
@yummymummy5 No one warns you that even when they’re sleeping better on their own, the once or twice a week they need you it’s just THE BEST cuddles ever. we are grateful for all of the sleep skills and positive sleep associations
@yummymummy5 Before we go to bed it goes like this:
“Kiss??” So we kiss
“Huuuugg??” So then we hug
Then he rolls over & usually says goodnight, love you mom, or some version of that.
@yummymummy5 No one warned me that falling asleep with a 2 year old entails a lengthy routine of high5s, fist bumps and finger boops while they nod off
@yummymummy5 Watch out guys, your toddler might even like going to bed! No drama or dragging them to bed. They like it so much, that sometimes, they even want to play bedtime for fun. And if you're really unlucky, you're the one who needs to sleep. Honestly, my favourite game is, mommy is tired and needs to sleep. Bedtime is not scary if it means cuddle time.
@yummymummy5 No one warns you that you'll be able to witness your little one discover a 2yo birthday present on the nightstand as they wake up. We did it today and it was priceless and so precious.
@yummymummy5 No one warns you that you’ll end up waking up to a leaky diaper at 3am as you wonder whether you can keep the baby asleep while you clean baby up and change him and throw a towel on the wet spot until you can change it tomorrow
