The Pot and the Kettle

Craigley has this habit of taking a nap right after dinner and waking up just before everyone else is ready to retire for the day. Craigley can take multiple naps in a day. The number of naps he takes determines the number of hours he could be awake during nighttime.

 

I am a light sleeper. I have a tendency to wake up at the slightest of sounds. That means I wake up several times on any given night based on Craigley's nocturnal activity levels. The noises that are the most disturbing originate from the kitchen and the washroom.

 

Since ASid moved back home because of Mary moving back to her home country, he seems to be functioning on a different time zone. He is up most of the night chatting with Mary who is miles away. When it is time for most of us, in this part of the world, to wake up … the boy blissfully falls asleep.

 

I have been coping well with both father and son disturbing my sleep. So, I share the following with amusement.

 

2 dawns ago, around 3 am, I was awakened by Craigley knocking on ASid's door to tell him that he is really loud and he could wake his Momley up.

 

I had the intense desire to tell the pot to leave the kettle alone! However, I decided to ignore both of them and save what was left of my sleep.
