Sent the children to sleep last nite. It is a bit difficult when all three of them had to go to bed without feeling sleepy. After all of them got to their own places of sleep I would have to lay down beside Barnabas to ensure that he falls asleep first. Barnabas is not so choosy with me and after a while he is fast asleep. While lying down with Barnabas, Clarissa complained about wanting her Daddy to lay beside her. Told her to wait while Barnabas is trying to doze of.
But she can’t wait long. Before Barnabas could fall asleep, she cried for her daddy to sleep beside her. Had to ask her to come down and sleep near her daddy and Barnabas, to which she gladly obeyed. Before long Annabelle started to complaint to her daddy to come and sleep beside her also. Now the problem is that Clarissa is not yet asleep so I can’t be at two places at the same time. Thinking that Clarissa has gone to sleep, I went to lay down beside Annabelle. After a minute, Clarissa woke up and realized that I was not beside her and started crying. Had to ask her to come up and sleep beside me and Annabelle, to which she gladly obey again.
Lay down there until Clarissa fall asleep but Annabelle had difficulties sleeping. Assured her that she is loved by her daddy and mommy and Jesus. She nodded and then only she allows me to go out from the room.
