Day 6. Maybe 7. I haven't slept through the night for a long time. I don't even remember the last time. The parents are looking pretty rugged also, I don't know why, I am the one not sleeping after all. This morning for example, I woke up and daddy was asleep on the couch like he had been out drinking all night. Lazy.
I don't like going to bed but I love sleeping. I get it from daddy presumably. When it is time to go, no matter how tired I am, I sing all the songs I can in an attempt to prolong bedtime. I also do the hand actions that go along with it. Incy wincy spider is the repeat on my current playlist. I sing it in Finnish though to annoy daddy.
Without sleep, the days are quite long, especially when I go to Mummi and Pappa's place. It is great there, they take excellent care of me and make sure I am always entertained with something educational. I learned to use scissors today and cut lots of little pieces of paper. Useless, but fun.
Tonight, I was in bed around 830, a bit earlier than usual but I just couldn't keep my eyes open. Until the lights went out. Then I sang for 45 minutes straight and kept asking where my monkey was. I tell the grandparents about Monkey also. I am not sure if they understand since they don't speak English but, they nod and smile still.
So far tonight though, I seem to be in a sleepy mood so it may be that I make it through. Let's see. It would be nice to wake up feeling rested though. Perhaps the parents will get a few more hours too. Maybe then I wouldn't have to do all the housework during the days like a child labourer.
