It’s my party and I’ll blog if I want to even if I don’t have pictures to post! I just feel like blogging today. Maybe it’s because I don’t have time to and we all want what we don’t have, right? Last night was just one of Those Nights. My Tot has Type 1 diabetes which means I test her blood sugar and give her insulin shots all day long. And sometimes into the night. At bed time last night her blood sugar was too low so I gave her a snack and knew I should test again in a couple of hours to make sure it came up and stayed up. Because diabetes in a toddler is tricky like that. So I tested at 10:30 and she was too high. We are relatively new to this so I wasn’t really confident treating a high, assuming it would just lower during the night. I set my alarm for 1:30 to test again just to make sure and because, call me crazy, I just didn’t want to wake up to a near-comatose child whose blood sugar was at a critical level in the morning. Still too high at 1:30 but a little lower than before.

THEN at 2:30 I hear an “I FORGOT! I FORGOT!” over the baby monitor (long story as to while I still have a baby monitor in my room). So I go in her room and she says she forgot to go get Mommy. In TotSpeak, that means I wanted to come get Mommy but I didn’t for some reason that I won’t share with you and you have to guess. I guessed that it was because I hadn’t put on the night light last night and she was scared because it was too dark. So I asked her what was wrong and the answer I got was “I’m not sleepy anymore.” Gak! So I laid with her in bed for a few minutes (her toddler bed…kinda funny) and then told her I was going to go back to Mommy’s bed and sleep. She wanted to come with me. Hm. If it were 4 am, maybe. 2:30, not so much. So I told her I would turn her bed time music on and she should try to get more sleep. She bought that and the rest of the night was uneventful, thank God. She has done this once before and I had hoped it wouldn’t happen again, especially in light of how “3″ she has been lately and with the middle of the night blood sugar checks I need to do from time to time. I’m not a fan of losing sleep.

Despite the “3-ness” and middle of the night shenanigans (or maybe because of them…sewing helps me relax), I have been finishing up a few projects for the Littlest Ones. Yesterday I finished a cute pair of baby booties that have a flannel lining and finally got around to taking pics of an adorable elephant-themed baby blanket and bib. And, I started work on another baby blanket/bib set. So, although I don’t have time to post pics right now, I will be back later. If I’m not napping…
