For the last couple of days, Mikey has been having a few worrying symptoms. Symptoms including a sore ear, a croup-ish cough, lack of coordination, lack of appetite, increased urination, and of course, difficulty getting to and staying sleep.
Let me tell you, I can't stand to see my little boy get sick. It gives me a chill when he's not feeling his best.
As I said before, one of his symptoms is trouble falling asleep. Getting him to sleep when he's on his A-game is hard enough as it is, but when he's ill, it's near impossible.
Normally, his night-time routine is as follows:
1. Lay Mikey down in his toddler bed.
2. Put military-grade ear muffs over your ears.
3. Get on phone and go to either YouTube or Pandora.
4. Start up a playlist of Smooth Jazz (this actually works!)
5. Brace for impact as Mikey ascends onto the bed you're laying on.
6. Regret the fact that you forget to wear your flak jacket.
7. Cover your head and neck as Mikey transforms into a miniature Chuck Norris and beats your *** accordingly.
8. Pray for mercy. Mikey is your god now.
9. Mikey is now asleep.
10. Take a deep breath and peel yourself off the bed. (Optional)
As you can imagine, getting him to sleep when he's already not feeling well means you might not walk away from it alive.
