Midnight Rugby

G has taken to touching her feet against anything in their range. Its a lot like Jo used to do when on her back and ill at ease until she got her claws wrapped around something and felt secure, even if it was themselves. Except with G, she’s either laying her legs and feet on me, or kicking me wildly.

THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK SMACK SMACK THUNK THUNK THUNK…all night long.

I’ve been getting pretty sick of it.   I try to roll her over so she is face up, but somehow she keeps rolling back towards me THUNK THUNK THUNK.   If I turn my back on her, I can create a kicking-baby neutral zone, buffered by my big fat ass.   But somehow she keeps sliding up or down the bed and kicking me in the back or the neck THUNK THUNK THUNK.

The other night I moved her to the middle of the bed, and she wakes up crying “DADDY SLID ME!!!!”

This is not fair.   This is not sharing.   I’m kinda afraid I’m gonna smack her when i’m groggy in the middle of the night not realizing what the hell is going on.   I’ve had dreams recently where I’m bumping into stuff, getting beat up, or generally suffering the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.

If this pillow could talk, it’d be screaming.
