The Night Garden
![IMG-PHOTO-ART-738193452.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmf3ied2X3rTDJEtVUFqZKBMiWBAcaxqGEecqKPQe1ivKy/IMG-PHOTO-ART-738193452.jpg)

The sleep was sparse last night. I got up this morning and took the little lady to school in a strange fugue-like state. On my return, I caught sight of myself in the hall mirror. 

I looked like one of the dementors from a Harry Potter film.

![kgzhd4k_20181118152200553_20181119160203406.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmczNRnvgDEDtMzydzziLxxe89jqK9DtU5XTYD9iLYDdk7/kgzhd4k_20181118152200553_20181119160203406.jpg)

I shook my head and pondered the events of the night before that had led to me looking like an old piece of skin that had been lying in a dirty puddle for a week. 

![kgzhd4k_20181118152200553_20181119160413410.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfRWVHBYLSksM2pVmRVLi4dsQVP9GzPggwqxW47KjJpxe/kgzhd4k_20181118152200553_20181119160413410.jpg)

The lamplight was low, as suited this time. I sat on one of the easy chairs and looked over at my son fondly. He was sitting on the floor, deep in thought. 

He looked up. 

*Father? What causes the air to move in the sky?*

I chuckled and waved my whisky glass around in a semi-magical motion. 

*Perhaps if you pour me another dram I shall be lubricated enough to tell you!*

The not so little boom laughed and leapt up, grabbing the bottle from the mantle and pouring me a good glug into my glass.

*There. Now, will you tell?*

His expectant face beamed up at me. 

![kgzhd4k_20181118152200553_20181119160413410_20181119162612892.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmb7kHJBfWfCieTXEPzEsZBjLJKDHR1XpmjwQUCVJ2rE2F/kgzhd4k_20181118152200553_20181119160413410_20181119162612892.jpg)

*Of course, young man. Well. The air above us and indeed... around us, moves because of many things. One of these is the action of temperature. Warm air rises and cold air sinks. This causes air to swirl upward from warm zones and colder air to rush in to fill the gaps.*

I took a sip of the whisky and carried on. 

*But, to compound this. The earth, as we know, is spinning globe. The very act of its spinning pulls on the air above causing it to swirl and move according to the rotation of the earth below.*

My son pondered this before replying, then a grin broke out on his face.

*Ha, you almost had me for a moment, a globe earth!! Always the joker!*

![kgzhd4k_20181118152200553_20181119160413410_20181119163034506.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmehwhfRameaCjvqQ56Tgj4XfJeygBb9JYk71x9epy1GCH/kgzhd4k_20181118152200553_20181119160413410_20181119163034506.jpg)

I chortled in return. 

*Indeed, I was trying to trick you. A globe earth indeed! Who would believe such a thing!*

I poured a small spot of whisky in a glass for him and we continued to ruminate the night away until dawn stained the skies with her pink and red skirts. 

![kgzhd4k_20181118152200553_20181119160551929.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVVMs7xdL6yjSxtYYQW3423a5xMLwtWjpxFQKvLyZ7Pyo/kgzhd4k_20181118152200553_20181119160551929.jpg)

*Daddy, you will have to take him, he just won't settle!!*

I staggered down from the *Masturboratory* that was the attic and took the little boom from the good lady's arms. He was thrashing about in quite the angry manner. 

I sighed and took him downstairs, walking back and forth, attempting as normal, to bore him to sleep.

![kgzhd4k_20181118152200553_20181119160413410_20181119164633686.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSteK95T5ytf2mU2PaiFJiUY91rZ5ixYs4qZQJodJjPTm/kgzhd4k_20181118152200553_20181119160413410_20181119164633686.jpg)

I spoke soothing words to him, to lull him into a slumber. Such as...

*Ow! Don't bite me, little man!?!*

And

*You should try sleeping, it's fucking magic.*

And

*Ow, you just punched my eye?!?!*

Finally, dawn broke just before I did and he fell asleep. I returned him to the crib where he plots out his evil reigns of night terror and slunk back to my bed. 

----

Guess which scenario is the true retelling of events?

By now, do you know yourself?

Alas, gone are the days one could use a dummy soaked in spirits with sugar.

If the good lay want a baby evangelist I would do it. 

I don't think I know who I am. I will attempt a ridiculously early beer tonight to salvage some sanity

I am a little surprised you don't drink more. Numbing the brain is a good cure and just think Thursday. I hope you are going and making a proper night of it. You have always a back up plan ,tell the good old lady you have to go away on two days business.  Check in to a local hotel and sleep for two days and recharge the batteries.Just a tempting thought.

I would love to drink more. Back when the nights were not so bad I did like to have random bevs all over the shop. But he is such an awful sleeper things have been brought to a standstill. It's pish. We stupidly thought the second would be easier cos the first was so hard... Wah!!

At least you didn't say "I am going to f*cking throw you out the window!"
ALtho if you do try that one, it's sure to bring the good lady running in right quick, and you then can go back to your slumbers ;o) (or scotch)

Hmm. I remain unconvinced. By the way, was that the reason you were up most of the night... was it last Monday night? Maybe Tuesday.

many years ago, we often babysat our grand daughters, I'd take the oldest at the time... bout two years old, throw her on my shoulders and we'd go off walking the neighborhood, I'd be singing James Taylor songs to her, which would put her to sleep rather fast. I'm not sure if it was my singing, or JT's lyrics that did the trick, but at least it worked. Also, a globe earth? You do realize the earth is flat, don't you? That's why you have to be careful not to get too close to the edge! :-)

The edge is the killer! Fortunately it is guarded by the ice wall!! ;0)

I might have to take him out for a drive the next time he is so active. Anything to get him to sleep. The irony is not lost on me that by the time he is a teenager he will probably never want to get out of his bed;

Hehe, it's my face on a character from a british tv show for kids. *In the Night Garden* I believe that the character in question is *Iggle Piggle!*

He's still on the boob, isn't he? I've begun to notice a pattern of all the late boobers and sleep deprivation- I tried to talk my sister in law into supplementing at least before bedtime when she and my brother were turning into zombies, but she was quite adamant and resolute...though she is reconsidering that approach for the next little one, seems to have realized mom and I might have some words of wisdom that she could have benefited from, like making sure the belly is full at night, hee.

He is!! He totally is!! And you know, you saying that is true. All of the other parents with bottle fed children or at least ones who supplement with bottles don;t seem to have the same problem. 

Damn it. Sometimes I wish the good lady wasn't such a goddammed hippy!!

I might have been in the same boat, lots of hippy like tendencies in me too, but I had a milk deficiency- big boobs do not necessarily translate into good milk jugs I learned- and because of that I had no choice but to do both. Thankfully, since it really does make a difference on their sleep- more importantly on our sleep, haha!

Well...no guess here, but perhaps you should think of dosing the little man with some medication rather than whiskey....and it might put him in a proper sleep pattern. The breastfeeding thing...He is old enough to go off the breast now, but it is an emotional thing for a mother, so perhaps you need to suggest that the good lady should stop breastfeeding when you've had plenty of beer.  I feel sorry for you cause it really seems as if he is ruling your life at this stage, but in the end this will also pass and then when they are all grown up and driving around you wish to have them small again.

Lol, I wouldn't really give him whisky. Those were just my mad imaginings. We have had all those conversations and more. He is just an awful sleeper. We can get through it though by knowing after the first one that things get better. He is 1 so anytime in the next year I would think :0D

Oh I know it was just your imagination.... my friend's child is about the same age as yours and she literally keeps herself awake. They now put her in the kitchen with all the pots and pans and make sure she can't hurt herself and while they can still hear her playing with the pots they at least they get some rest. Whether you want to know this or not.. my first child I breastfed up to ten months until he started biting me...second one up to 13 months. My second baby I refused to get up at night so he slept on top of me until he was about 18 months old, and we both slept. If he wanted to drink I just turned to my side while sleeping and he drank and then slept again. I never even opened my eyes...ha ha!
