The Baby is Sleeping Through the End of the World

For any parent nap time is a sacred time and it is no different in the Poop Rainbow household. We request quiet nearing silence if the Baby is sleeping.

Unfortunately our Baby is a light sleeper. We cannot allow him to fall asleep in his buggy with the plan to transfer him to his crib later. If he falls sleep somewhere that’s where he stays. Which is why we can occasionally be found sitting in a still running car for several minutes after we arrive home.

Normal noises wake him but he has an uncanny ability to sleep through ridiculously loud noise. I have witnessed him barely stir when fireworks were being lit ten yards away from his bedroom window. He also has learned to sleep through the drilling and crashing which is happening in the building site across the road.

Two nights ago the Mummy, the Dog and I were woken at 2am by the mother of all storms raging directly above our heads. For at least an hour I lay awake listening to thunder crashing and the rain hammering down outside. We also lost electricity from 2-7am which meant all the air conditioners went off and the rooms grew steadily warmer.

And how was the Baby while the Dog (and I) cowered in our bed?

The next morning I had to battle my way to school through floods and swarms of unidentified flying bugs which seem to have emerged overnight. Perhaps a plague of locust? Is the end of the world nigh and I didn’t get the message?
