Is it just me or is there nothing scarier than seeing your children in the middle of the night? Mine aren't the kind of kids that come in crying and throwing a fit tapping you on the head asking to crawl into bed. My kids are like SWAT team snipers. Sam likes to stand right outside of my bedroom door and just stare at me while she does surveillance and comes up with a plan of action. Sometimes she crawls to my side of the bed, gets inches from my face and just waits for me to wake up. When I wake up I fear for my life. Why does this freak me out? I don't know........ maybe its because of horror movies like "The Ring" or the Amityville horror movie that have those creepy children standing in the doorway holding their teddy bears with evil smiles on their faces.
Saturday night, while staying awake waiting for the "devastating storms" threatening our area I was trying to keep my eyes open at 3am when I saw a child like flash dash across the hallway. Honestly I was so tired and sleep deprived that I wasn't sure it was real. I woke my husband. At the time it seemed like an emergency because I was pretty sure I had just seen a ghost. James has the tendency to make a mad dash into my room, fall to the floor in front of my bed to avoid breaking his cover, and then army crawls to his dads side of the bed to sneak inside. We searched the room........no James............I assumed I was crazy. I laid back down to check the current radar and once again the child like flash dashed across the hallway towards the living room. I knew it wasn't my imagination this time and soon found they both were huddled on the living room couch scared of the storm.
Ava on the other hand clumsily stumbles into my room, throws her blanket and sippy cup onto my head and hoists herself up. She kicks me in the side and steals my pillow and makes no attempt to hide the fact that she is claiming her spot. This I can handle. She is a "regular" in our room every night. Really the only creepy thing about Ava is that she has decided to start referring to herself in the third person this week. "Ava is hungry", "Ava has to go potty", "Ava doesn't want to go to bed"............I am struggling to figure this one out.
