This turn of events started at 6:30p.m.
I am being out-played by “Preacher” right now. Sawyer (who will be 4 in July) is currently lying on a couch
cushion, on the floor in the laundry room.
Why you ask? Well it seems he has decided he needed to be alone in his
own room, so he struck a deal with me that if he stayed in the laundry room for
the night I would turn it into his room.
The deal included that he could have his tractor blanket, Tigie, and
army pillow. Somehow the bubble bee also made it in there, but “I’m not
sweating it.” This
needed to be in place because he was already requesting that I remove things
from the wall and was talking about painting.
8:45p.m. My first
concern arose while everyone was getting ready for bed; brushing their teeth,
putting on pajamas, etc. He did the
bedtime ritual as usual, but instead of going upstairs with the other kids, he
began arranging his “stuff” in the laundry room to prepare for bed…including
asking me to move some of my things to get out of his way.
9:15p.m. So…he
has now gone and gotten his Transformer backpack, which is full of toys and
taken into his “room…” This was not part
of the deal, but…we will see what happens….
9:21p.m. Now..he
has gradually moved himself and all of his things to the landing upstairs that
is between the kids’ bedrooms….hmmmm……
9:24p.m. I am
hiding in my room; and Angie went to check on him.
9:30p.m. Sawyer
is back in his “regular” room and I have won.
10:22p.m.. Just heard Sawyer say "get in bed, Jack Henry"
