Knee Neart<p>Wow. An absolutely hectic bedtime. Bubs teething again and is a CHOMPER! I got bitten while feeding several times and am reasonably upset and sore (this never happened with kiddo. She bit me once, I yelped, she looked horrified and that was that. This baby is a whole other beast)</p><p>Meanwhile, kiddo's dad had her up past bedtime playing video games (I'm just happy that he seems to have found something more age appropriate than plants Vs zombies) and she was just not settling, winding me up while I was trying to settle bubs.</p><p>I ended up taking him outside, so I could get a bit of space, and rock him to sleep in my arms, as the usual feed to sleep was not fucking working. Unshockingly, kiddo followed us out and when she asked if she could look at the stars, I didn't have enough fucks left to grump at her to stfu and go back to bed... So I said yes</p><p>And she gazed and gazed. I showed her the southern cross and Orion's belt and she was just, wowed. All her pent up energy turned to gentle awe. I got bubs to sleep and brought him in to bed. Thought kiddo's dad was out there with her, could hear her giggling away, but nope. She was just dancing in the starlight, being delighted.</p><p>Heartmelting and nourishing. </p><p>She was asleep within 2 mins of being back in bed, where she told me she'd dream of stars 🤩</p><p><a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/parenting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>parenting</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/stargazing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>stargazing</span></a></p>
