"There's a little boy on the floor....."

Last night I woke up in the middle of the night to Jake sitting straight up on the side of the bed. He shot up so fast, I knew it wasn't going to be good. This is the conversation that followed:

Melissa: "Jake"

Jake: "Yeah" (a very quick "yeah." When he answers me very quickly I know that he is asleep and I kind of get a little uncomfortable just b/c it is kind of creepy)

Melissa: "Are you awake?"

Jake: "Well, there is a boy on the floor over there."

Melissa: "There is a boy on the floor?"

Jake: "Yeah"

Melissa: "Jake, what are you doing?"

Jake: "I don't know"

Then, he layed right back down and went to sleep. I asked him this morning and he said he thought Cameron was crawling on the floor in our bedroom. It was too funny.

It brought back some memories that I don't know if I ever shared on here before. If I have, it still might make you smile. Cameron was not a good sleeper when he was first born. He was a comfort eater and wanted to get up and eat every 2 hours during the night. Jake and I weren't getting very much sleep and so we did crazy things.


Story 1

I wake up to find Jake out of bed standing at the armoire looking through my bridal boquet. I can see him moving the flowers around in it and looking pretty intently for something. I asked him what he was doing and he said, "looking." Then he walked over to the bed and pulled back all of the covers and said, "Where is he?" I realized then, that he was looking for Cameron so I told him that he was in his crib. Jake accepted the answer and went back to sleep.

Story 2

I wake up to find Jake's face right in front of mine with his eyes wide open. I could see him b/c we had a nightlight in our room at the time. He freaked me out. His eyes were wide open, but he wouldn't blink or anything. I said his name and he wouldn't answer me. I said it again and I think I even kind of tried to shake him a little bit. Still nothing. Just 2 huge dark eyes staring me down and him not talking. I was about to get out of bed by then and he said, "He looks like you," shut his eyes and fell back asleep.


Story 3

Jake wakes up to see me sitting up in bed rummaging in the covers.

Jake: "What are you doing?"

Melissa: "Nothing."

Melissa: "Where is he?" (still looking all over in the bed)

Jake: "He is in his bed."

I guess I went right back to sleep. We have had so many laughs from our sleep deprivived nights. I don't know what happened last night b/c Cameron sleeps for about 11 hours at night these days! Who knows, it made for a good laugh!
