View From the Bushes:

One of my biggest worries last night was that my two year old son would wake up screaming for his "mommy." Despite the protestations in one of the comments, I'll mention that his name is Addison. Which by the way is NOT a girls name: the etymology is "Adam's Son". Back to the story. The last couple of weeks, just about every night Addison has woken up in the neighborhood of 2 am crying uncontrollably. After four kids I have absolutely no problem sleeping through uncontrollable crying -- it's the piercing screams I mentioned earlier that interrupt my sleep. Strangely enough, my oldest daughter (whose name as yet will remain undisclosed), who sleeps in the same room doesn't even stir no matter how long he screams. The easy solution from a short-term perspective is to just get him out of the crib and put him in our bed. That appears to be what he wants and it quiets him down immediately.

My two year old can count to ten. Beyond that numbers, math and surface area are completely beyond his comprehension. In spite of this, he is able to instantly register how I am sleeping and choose a sleeping position which takes up the maximum amount of surface area with mathematical precision. I also have no memory of him taking any martial arts, but his appendages are always poking me in the spots which will cause me the maximum pain when I wake up in the morning. An elbow in the small of the back, a foot pushing on my neck, or occasionally he'll just lay on my head. This is why I have tried futilely to get him back to sleep the last few weeks when he woke up, generally to no avail. I had no power to comfort him: he only wanted his mother (sounds Oedipal though of course everyone knows Freud was a quack.)

So that was my big worry: for once I had plenty of room in the bed (though as most parents know, that makes absolutely zero difference, since all children are like heat-seeking missiles, but enough about the long term damage to health sleeping with children causes), but my wife was completely gone, and if my two year old woke up in the middle of the night and screamed in his patented piercing fashion for a couple of hours I wasn't sure that I wouldn't lock him in a closet downstairs and go back to bed, which once again is easy in the short term, but expensive in the long term when I'm paying for the therapy.
