Go to Sleep

Every night Blake goes to bed around 8:30, every night we go through this hassle " Blake be quiet! Go to Sleep! ........... Blake if you talk again you will not get stories tomorrow night.....Okay no stories! ....... BLAKE QUIET!!.... Blake are you trying to get a spanking?{empty threat}.......Ignore...Ignore....This child will be the end of me...... 11:30PM BLAKE Crying" MOM! MOM! MOM!" ....Me, " What is wrong, What is going on up here! "{ whispered exasperated yell} Blake," I'm scared Sam went to sleep. I have no one to talk to." Me, " It is night. Go to sleep! Don't talk.." Blake,"but I am scared.....whine...cry...whine!"Me," GO TO SLEEP!"....walk away.

Tonight , Me,"Blake if you talk you will sleep on the floor in the hall. Do you understand?" Blake,"Yes." Me, " Tell me what will happen if you talk." Blake,"Sleep on the floor, in the hall way." Me," Goodnight I love you...DO not talk. Go to sleep." .............not even five minutes later. "Blake get your blanket you are on the floor."I say. Blake ,"No, please I forgot!" Me," Sorry, on the floor." " I love you"

I go up to check on him around 10:15pm, in bed with Jack. Me,: Blake get out of Jack's bed and get on the floor." Blake, " Mom I am asleep." Me," Then sleep walk out to the hall, lie down and go to sleep." Blake stomps out to the hall and lies down.

When I took this picture Blake asked what I was doing. Documenting for our poserity. He was not amused. I will be judged on my actions and you will see that I had it tough. Still not amused.
