Day #100 – wow! And to celebrate, another bath photo. Did I mention that the bathroom has the best lighting at night? 🙂

Thomas was being a little grouchy in the tub one day so Kei pulled the shower curtains closed. It’s now started a fun game where Thomas likes to hide behind the curtains and have me open them and say boo – over and over and over and over again. OK – it’s getting a little old but, hey, at least he’s happy right?

The problem will be solved when we have a shower upstairs and there will no longer be a need for a shower curtain around the downstairs bath on a regular basis – whoo hoo!

I don’t post my P365 photos everyday. I usually take two or three days worth of photos and then post them – still within a reasonable timframe so that I don’t forget the story behind the picture.

Sometimes I take pictures to support a story I want to tell and this picture is a good example. When I took this two days ago I knew I would write about the Easter gift that keeps on giving. How we gave this little M&M bunny to Thomas for easter and the M&Ms are so small that we have been able to give him just two or three a day when he asks for it and it is still half full. Talk about getting value for money. It’s win/win – Thomas gets a little treat for being good and we are able to give him something that is so small that the sugar and caffeine intake is negligible. Plus he hasn’t worked out how to open the “bunny” so it’s a fun little toy that he carries around with him,

That was two days ago. Last night Thomas woke up at 1:30am. He was standing inside his bedroom door telling me wanted to go and lie on the couch. Very strange because he hasn’t woken up in the middle of the night for a long time. I told him that it was the middle of the night and time we were all in bed. After a little whimpering and a few minutes of me hopping into bed with him, Thomas did go back to sleep ans slept through until his regular wake up time of 6:30am.

At 6:30 I went in to get him and we went through the usual routine of gathering everything that he had taken to bed with hm the night before – Curious George, his blanket, a booster pillow from the couch (?) and various other little bits and pieces that provide him with comfort during the night. One of these things was his little M&M bunny. He handed it to me and said “I opened it”. And yes, he had. And he had also eaten the remaining contents of the bunny – way more chocolate than he is used to – especially before bed time.

So mystery solved – the reason Thomas woke up in the middle of the night was because he was so hopped up on Sugar and Caffeine that he couldn’t sleep. I guess we should be grateful that he slept at all after he fed his little chocolate habit. Lesson learned – never underestimate the ability of a two year old to work out how to open…well…anything.

Oh, and Thomas pronounces it “Chocowat” – so cute. 🙂
