Return of the Slumber Bunny!

I think we've had an intruder in our house. Must've come in late last week. While we were sleeping.

Only one thing was taken and they were kind enough to leave something in return.

I was thinking about posting a sign around the neighbourhood asking if anybody had seen it, maybe offering a reward. But I kinda like what they left in it's place more!!! Shhhh!!!

Must've been gypsys or fairies, whatever it was, it did it quietly!

What was it that they took??!

MY SON!

Why don't I want him back??? BECAUSE THEY LEFT ONE THAT SLEEPS! Alllllllllllllllllll the way through the night. Oh how nice the sweet sound of silence is all night long.

Those who know Tobi know that he's never been a good sleeper! He has had a night here or there where we thought he was becoming a reformed man but alas it wasn't to be! When he was born the doctor couldn't believe the scream on him. Nor could the rest of the hospital!! I think his exact words were "He's going to like being heard".
And he does! At 1am, 3am, 5am, 5:30am.
Ok, maybe not quite that bad, but there has been many a night at 2am where nothing but Ellen Degeneres or taking him outside to look at the stars has been able to calm him down.

Maybe it was the return of "beaaaaaaar" that did it.
Beaaaaaaaaaar is Tobi's longlost rabbit that we never even noticed was missing. Taylah found a rabbit at Gigi and Gandad's house and claimed it was Tobi's most favourite teddy EVER and that she must return it at once! Gigi even offered for it to stay at her house but Taylah was quite adamant that she must not return home without him!
I can't even remember the rabbit. Tim couldn't remember the rabbit! Noone remembered the rabbit. Surely he couldn't have been TOO attached to it, right?!

Well the rabbit came home and it was like Tobi had been reunited with his long lost best friend!! He hasn't put it down all week! It's been on the trampoline, to the shop (where Tobi taught him the finer art of flirting with checkout chicks! Hrmm I wonder where Tobi learnt that from?!), he's been for drives in Daddy's Car and he's even had a swing! So it seems Taylah was right! And we are horrible parents who didn't even know our son was missing his most dearest friend! LOL Start calling DOCS people!

Maybe he has just "grown out of it". Took him long enough!!

So you think we would be all refreshed and revitalised. No. The bags under the eyes have remained. We keep staying up til 2am blogging, photo editing, game playing and watching TV! But that's gotta stop!

So here's to more sleep and just a note to those fairies who took my other son..

If you return him I will pull off your wings, tickle your toes til you're physically ill and as an added bonus I will superglue matchsticks from your upper to lower eyelids, forcing you to keep your eyes open for all of eternity. Sounds nice, eh? So does more sleep :)

Oh and Timmi, thankyou for doing more than your share of the resettles! I'd be a basketcase without you! Love you xox :)
