This morning, early in the wee hours, Cooper fell 3 ½ feet into a pile of balloons.
Perhaps this warrants more of an explanation…
or do things like this happen at your house too?
We are currently on vacation in the great state of Utah. While we are here we kick my youngest brother, Jamison, out of a bedroom. (his room has 2 full sized beds in it, naturally.) Naturally, you would think we’d use both beds. However, every night Cooper has wanted to sleep on the floor in between the two beds. Every night until last night, that is.
As I was tucking him into his bed on the floor he told me
“I think maybe Mom I will sleep up in the bed this night.
But you can sleep in my bed on the floor Mom.”
(Fortunately the bedroom has those two beds, so I didn’t have to take him up on his generous offer.)
Kameryn was spending the night at her cousins and so that left our two little men to share a bed together. Things started off rocky, but expected, with a few cries of “Mom! Lan-un teeps hit-un me!” But, with in minutes they were both sound asleep.
So asleep, in fact, that when the bedroom was filled to the brim with squeaky latex balloons and a rowdy aunt, they didn’t even squirm.
And they continued to sleep peacefully until 1 am, when, you guessed it,
Cooper fell out of bed (my brother has unusually tall beds) and into a pile of balloons.
I snuggled him up into bed with Brandon and I as he wimpered in half awake/half asleep pain.
Poor kid rolled clean out of bed.
I lay there contemplating the boys luck. He had acted so surprised when he fell, as if he didn’t see it coming. But then, I guess, no one really plans on falling out of bed.
Since he had pulled all the covers off the bed in his fall, and since our full sized bed was suddenly crowded, I migrated over to return the covers and climb into bed with Landon. As I climbed up into bed I was greeted by a pair of feet.
Suddenly it all made sense (I felt like Matlock.):
why Cooper acted so surprised to suddenly find himself beck in his bed on the floor,
why a kid who never moves when he sleeps would have rolled out of bed,
why Cooper had preferred to sleep on the floor as opposed to sleep in a bed with his brother...
You see people, here's how it really went down:
Landon, the real sleep mover in the family,
had firmly kicked his brother out of bed.

And on his birthday, no less.
I laughed so hard I cried! Exactly why no one wants to sleep with Zane - never sure if he is trying to snuggle close or just push you out.
ReplyDeleteHope Cooper survived the fall and had a great birthday! We missed him on Sunday. (And you too, of course.)
