We are trying to get Micah to sleep. There's playgroup to go to tomorrow. This is after we had a round of playing with his trains, some strawberry milk, brushed our teeth and changed into his pajamas. We were snuggling into bed...
"I want to be a fireman," said Micah.
"Sure," I said. "What can you do then?"
"I can rescue people from the fire."
"Oh yes, and cats from the trees too," I said exciting him more.
"Yes," he said delighted.
"Then you can ride in the fire engine," I said.
"Yes. Then mama (grandma) and Max and kung kung (grandpa) can ride in the back with us," He added with a huge smile on his face. "They will be the passengers. They will have to buy a ticket and then they can ride in the fire engine."
"No, darling," I said with a little chuckle. " If you are in the fire engine then you don't need to buy a ticket. You will be there to help rescue people anyway."
"No, no," he insisted. "They are the passengers. They must buy a ticket."
"OK... Then you can put on the siren."
He just nodded eagerly.
"How does the siren sound like?" he asked.
"Neee-naa neee- naa..."
"Nope," he giggled.
"Nee- nor nee-nor..."
"No." Giggling and shaking his head.
"Neee-nuu neee-nuu..."
"No." He is now laughing.
"Woooo woooo..."
"No." He is now laughing and rolling in bed.
"Baawd! Baawd! Wooo...wooo... "
"No. No..." Now laughing hysterically and rolling on the bed. "It's woo-wooooh! woo-woooh!"
"Woo-wooh.. woo woooh? That sounds like the bird at ah mah's house (my mum's)."
We both burst into laughter.
"No. It's poo-wooh poo-wooh! No, no. It's yabayaba-tatatah..." Now he is trashing the bed.
"Ok, ok. It's time to sleep."
"No, no. Its ....
We laughed.
After that Micah ran to daddy and played with him a little more. Mommy kept telling him it's time to sleep. By the time it hit 12am mommy was very serious already.
"OK. Sleep now or I will turn off the light!"
I think it took him another 15-20 minutes before he finally fell asleep. By then I, too, had a foot in dreamland myself.
*yawn* Good night.
