It was a Floor Sleeping Kind of Night!

These pictures basically sum up, our Tuesday night. RTB was working (he works 14 hour rotating night shifts) and CTB was having a rough evening.  We had taken him to the doctor because he had had a cough for about 4 days coupled with some drainage.  While we were in the waiting room at the Dr. CTB wiped out on the floor and hit his forehead directly ontop of another bruise he already had! Poor little guy screamed bloody murder but I'm sure only napping for 45 minutes at the babysitters plus it being dinner time, plus having to be poked and prodded at by the Dr. didn't help.  Finally, we left with "it's just a cold, you're doing everything you can, and it will have to run it's course" Ugh! We went home, ate dinner, RTB left for work, and thenMiMi came over to help since mommy is supposed to be "taking it easy. MiMi pretty much did bath time while Mommy watched and CTB played for about 25 minutes.  He was his happy self, splashing around in the water!  He even took some Tylenol out of a spoon (it's a miracle!). MiMi read him Llama Llama Time for Bed and CTB went right down.  Around 9:20pm, CTB began screaming bloody murder.  I let him cry it out for about 10 minutes but he was crying so hard I didn't want him to throw up from the coughing so I went in there! He did not want to be rocked, he did not want to lay in bed with mommy, he did not want it to be dark.  I called RTB and MiMi to get their opinion on what to do. So alas, I let him down and fully expected him to go running around but he sat down right beside our bed, layed down with his Lovey, and fell asleep! Of course, transferring him back to his crib was unsuccessful. Finally,  I ended up laying in the floor by his crib. CTB stuck his little arm out from between the railing and I rubbed his arm while he fell asleep.  Every so often CTB would stick his arm back out to make sure I was still there...... he was killing me with cuteness!!! OMG, how could I ever go back and sleep in my nice comfy bed when my sweet baby just wants his mommy to take care of him-- even if it means sleeping on the floor!
