Mommy shouldn’t laugh

Sunday, July 18th, 2010

Yesterday was not a good nap time. We were at my parents’ new place and Colleen just couldn’t seem to settle down to sleep. I was starting to get pretty upset about it because it was keeping Bea awake as well. I finally said to her, in a very stern voice, “Colleen turn over and go to sleep!” So, she turned over and promptly started to make loud, exaggerated snoring sounds. I tried so hard to keep my composure. I looked over at Tom who was trying to nap in the other bed and his eyes were closed, but he had a smile on his face. That was it…I burst out laughing. I just couldn’t help myself. Of course, that just made it all worse and we ended up with Colleen sobbing her heart out when I then left the room so I could get Bea to sleep.
