The Battle for Sleep (MOC6.31)
- Description
- Sure have enjoyed my first Month of Challenges at the Lilypad!!
For this one, we had to have at least 2 photos taken 1 year apart, with the years clearly marked. 150+ words of journaling with "then" and "now" somewhere in it (158; mine's at the beginning of sentence 2). And some scrapping product: papers (3) & heart from Pink Reptile Design's "Carefree." Fonts: Florence, Bambusa, and Rough Draft Solid Fill. Journaling reads:
2003, 2004, 2006, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2018. Then and now, you sleep fitfully. You cry out, you grind your teeth, you moan, you wake yourself up. But you are always my little boy, and I have always loved watching you sleep, when I can. Tonight, the click of the camera almost awakened you completely--oops! I could tell you were grousing about it in your dreams. At least these nights, you can manage to sleep a whole night through! I remember when we finally decided you were going to have to sleep in our bed, because otherwise I would lose my mind from sleep deprivation. That worked for about five years, and then your kicks to my kidneys made me choose to sleep in *your* bed. Finally, around twelve, you managed to sleep in your own, although it was still quite a few years before you no longer walked in your sleep. Thank goodness those nights are over!
