Sleep & talk

No deja de sorprenderme lo diferente que son mis hijas en todo.

Incluso a la hora de dormir.

La Princesa Mermelada cae dormida según su cabeza toca la almohada, un sueño profundo y pesado. La Princesa Nocilla da vueltas y vueltas, nos llama, nos habla y tarda mucho en dormirse.

Mermelada tiene muchas pesadillas, pero rara vez se despierta en la oscuridad. Nocilla últimamente se desvela a las cuatro de la mañana, con ganas de hablar.

Hace poco, tras levantarme un par de veces para tranquilizarle e intentar convencerle de que se volviese a dormir, le dí un codazo a husband y le dije "ahora te toca a tí". Husband suele ir directo al grano e intentó razonar:

Husband: "N., es muy tarde, duermete ya, todo el mundo está durmiendo ahora"

Nocilla, tras pensarselo unos segundos: "No, en China y en Japón, no"

Tiene cuatro años.

Husband se volvió a la cama. Nocilla acabó durmiéndose.

Seeing how different my daughters are never fails to marvel me.

Even when it comes to sleeping.

Princess Marmalade falls into a sound sleep as soon as her head touches her pillow, a deep and heavy breathed sleep. Princess Nutella turns and turns in her bed, calls for us, talks to us until she falls asleep too.

Marmalade has lots of nightmares but nevers wakes up, while Nutella lately wakes up with no reason at four a.m., willing to talk.

A couple of nights ago, after getting up a few times to reassure and calm her down, trying to convince her to go back to sleep, I elbowed husband and said: "now it's your turn". Husband usually goes straight to the point and so he tried to reason with her:

Husband: "N, it's late, go back to sleep, everybody's sleeping now"

Nutella, after thinking for a second: "Not in China or Japan"

She's four years old.

Husband came back to bed. Nutella ended up sleeping again.
