Freaked out

So it's been a rather trying week for me, both kids sick and my daughter is on spring break from preschool. Which actually blows my mind, I mean it's a private preschool so why the spring break, and they even have the nerve to charge us for the week. But I guess my daughter was getting pretty burned out from all the story time, finger painting, nap time, and play time, she really could use a little rest. How about giving me a break! If I had my way no breaks!! Anyway it has been a long week, but at least spring has finally sprung here in Chicago and the weather is beautiful, so sick or not the kids and I have at least been spending most of the week outside, finally. I really don't mind the cold weather so much, just the length of the Chicago winter is what really gets me down, especially when you're cooped up in the house with two kids. Baby boy is almost six months old now and just finally getting to experience the world outside our little condo. So I thought I had my three year old pretty tired out yesterday, after letting her run around at the kids club at the gym all morning, and then at the park all afternoon. But apparently not, because for the first time ever my wife and I were awakened at two in the morning by our little girl in our room standing creepily at the foot of our bed holding one of mommy's journals saying, "Will you read me this book?" Now don't get me wrong, it was not the first time we were awakened by our little angel at two in the morning, she has never really been a great sleeper and has awakened us many many times before. But for some reason which I was always very thankful for and never ever questioned she would never leave the safety of her little bed, until last night. And for some reason seeing her standing there in our room at two in the morning just completely freaked me out, my heart practically jumped out of my chest and I flew out of that bed. After some careful explaining of why she should never sneak around in the middle of the night I think I had her convinced not to do it again...I guess we'll just have to wait until tonight!
