Do you hear what I hear?

A child...a child crying in the night as I stumble to check in the dim dim light.
Do you see what I see?  huddled on the floor as I walk in the door...

okay so I cant think how to finish it out but here is what happened.

Last  night, in the wee hours of the morning I heard one of the children cry out.  I had coincidentally, moved to the couch because between the rain so loud on the plastic awning under our bedroom window (it covers our downstairs patio area but is just under our window) and my poor husband snoring; I needed to move in self defense.  Sleep is a precious commodity for me.  Anyway, so I get up and make my way down the hallway. I did not have my glasses on.  I see a child huddled on the floor.  Looked like Jenny with her knees tucked under her, little bottom in the air. She sleeps like that a lot.  So I go over to her and whisper .......as I reach for her "Oh sweetie" only to discover.....

it is actually her HUGE tigger which has been dressed in shorts and a shirt, making it look like a sleeping child on the floor.  I left Tigger where he was and made sure the kids were tucked in.  However, it made me laugh almost out loud.  Here I am trying to be motherly to a stuffed animal.  She must have kicked him out of bed for taking up too much room.  He sure did look real..LOL.

See now here it looks like a Tigger laying on the floor.....


but in the middle of the night with no glasses
and only a night light to show the way...he looked like a child, huddled on the floor.
now have a happy, wonderful, Tiggeriffic day.
