Foursome in Bed 19 Dec '10

Granny and Grandpa went off to Taiwan for their long deserved break. So Ashlynn is back in our room to sleep at night. The first 3 nights were bad. When I have to attend to a crying baby and shrieking toddler in the middle of the night. Good thing they didn't do it together. They took turns, one after another. Leaving me with barely few hours of sleep. Daddy didn't help much as he was catching up from the lack of sleep. I am having my holidays, so it just makes sense that I do the night duty.

On the fourth night, daddy suggest we all squeeze on to our humble queen size bed, but sleep horizontally instead. It did fit all of us, but Daddy, Ashton and myself barely have space to turn. Only the princess had the luxury of tossing and turning. We decided that this will be the arrangement until Granny comes back. At least everyone can sleep better with the exception of some backache. It's a wonderful feeling when Ashlynn wakes up and gives me a peck on my cheek and she strokes my forehead lovingly. Not forgetting the widest grin from Ashton whenever he opens his eyes and sees us.

We didn't want to leave Ashton with the maid as we have already make our stand from the start that we should look after our kids as much as we can. The maid's main duty is housekeeping, then followed by helping out with the kids whenever we are busy.
