Saturday night Sam and I had plans, we had a friend coming over to hang at our place while the kids were sleeping. We rarely go out, but it was a good friends birthday surprise, so it was a perfect excuse to spruce up and socialize. We usually aim to put the kids to bed around 7pm, and even if they are chatting, I don't mind, as long as they stay in their beds. My husband's friend was so sweet to come over to let us have a night out, we told him we wanted to leave at 8:30pm. It was 8:15pm, my oldest Eli Tzvi got up to go to the bathroom, and then came into the living room, where I was already dressed, putting on my heels, with hair done and make up, and said "I'm done sleeping." I just started cracking up, it was hilarious, he was so serious, he was just DONE!
So then my mind races what can I tempt him with the next day so he will want to go to sleep. You Tube has tons of cool cartoon like Thomas and Friends and Jay Jay the Jet Plane, my son just likes to watch home made train and car videos by kids, that is his treat once in a while. He always says "Can I watch?" So I told him if he wants to watch he needs to go to sleep, he ran to his room. When we got home later that night, our friend told us that he came right out and hung out with him until 10pm, and then went to bed, it's all good :)
I don't think I am ever done sleeping honestly, I just treasure and love sleep so much, I really feel it is the best medicine and balance. So many driven people say there is no time for it, you will eventually sleep forever, WHATEVER, I firmly believe in balance. Yes some people want to go full force until they achieve their goals whether career or financial, which is great, to each their own. I feel its like there is no perfect time to have children, even if you have the largest house and all the money in the world, all they really need is your time and love. As important as it is to leap and try new things, it is also necessary to stay present and enjoy every step of the way.
JUST DO IT,
