them chillun done made me tired

Well, it was the 3am bedtime and work-still-not-done and the stupid cake exploding, oops, work was due yesterday morning that did it too.

So sitting with Bodhi in the comfy dark, listening to music and his breathing lengthening out and pulling me in with him didn't help the sleepiness. It's so seductive, the fall of a warm little person into sleep, so tempting to snuggle in and cuddle up and follow too.

I resisted and came down to Olivia watching Monster House in the dark, god bless her, and sat with her for a bit because she spends too much time by herself. But despite the scariness of Monster House I could still feel the dark and the duvet tugging at me, so after a little while I had to move and now I'm chilly and yaaaawning.

It's so easy, the slip slide... maybe I should just have an early night so I can work better tomorrow... still lots of time... agh!

As requested, a Bodhi-story, as these have been thin on the ground of late.

Axel and Bodhi, driving to playschool

Bodhi: You know, Axel, polar bears like fish. They eat a lot of fish.
A: they do
Bodhi: yes, they have to eat a lot to get fat for the winter
A: that's right, there's not a lot of food in the wintertime where they live
Bodhi: no, so the more they eat, the fatter they get, and the warmer they are. That's how they stay warm in the winter.
A: that's right, very clever
Bodhi....
.... are you warm?
A laughing : well, yes, yes I am
Bodhi: because you do have a fat tummy...AND a fat bum.
Axel: well, yes, that's right
Bodhi ...
...I'm a little bit cold.

Such timing, the child has.
