I Love the Night Life

Inspired by a night of little sleep by Sugarpop. It's not a typical night, but every once in a while we experience this. 


I Love the Night Life
by The Everyday Dad

I love nightime when it's time for kids to sleep
More likely it's the parents that fall asleep deep

First kids are up and then they lie down
If they are up too long momma's face starts to frown

But once they're asleep they'll sleep all night
They've been doing this for years . . . right?

First it's the Oh, then the Elf, then the Oh again
It goes on all night and momma can't win

Stories are read, water quenches their thirst
But then Dewdrop wakes up and she's wanting to nurse

Then finally, at last, all the kids are asleep
But then Daddy is up, down the stairs he does creep

He's off to work early leaving behind his love mate
Maybe tomorrow's the day they'll sleep late!

You really should post more often, they are amazing posts! There does come a time when everyone sleeps at the same time, but I fear that is a long time coming for you.
