My kids will find every excuse in the book not to go to sleep.

We have a very set bedtime routine of brushing teeth ,saying good night a hundred times, triple kisses and lights out.

Inevitably one child always has something to stop him or her getting to sleep.

”   I can’t find my ‘mousie’, or my blanket, or I’m too cold ,or I need a drink ,or I need a pee , or there’s a monster under my bed , or he’s annoying me ,or he’s snoring…. “The list goes on and changes nightly.

Last night the youngest, my girl ,came out of bed, yelling at the baby gate telling me “owie”over and over again and pointing to her feet.  Bear in mind I had been down multiple times already , and I was tired.

I wasn’t sure what was wrong with her but it appeared that her pajamas and the enclosed feet were somehow upsetting her.  I stumbled through to the kitchen with my groggy eyes  and grabbed the bandage scissors.

Two swift cuts ,  and problem solved !! I cut those feet right off that onsie!

I took this photo in the morning and at first couldn’t even remember doing it!

Goodnight it’s been a long day….again!
