The term "fake sleeping" has become synonomous with weekends around our house. It actually started when little O was just an infant... I quickly figured out that Little O's Dad was pretending to sleep any time she would cry, and that he would continue to pretend he was sleeping right up until I would get out of bed, change her diaper, feed her and then get her back to sleep. Not much has changed since then... she still tends to be our alarm clock on weekends. As long as Little O is sleeping, we all sleep. But when she decides it is time to get up, I seem to be the only one with "magic" ears that can hear that she is awake.
A typical weekend at our house starts when Little O wakes up...I get her up and the two of us usually spend some time in the living room...pj's on, tv tuned to something child friendly, while the coffee perks. The funny thing is that the weekday is not all that much different... the only difference is that I get up first (yeah, at 5am) and there is no coffee until I get to work.
This last week, Little O decided to try out the "fake sleeping" for herself... When I arrived in her room at 6am to get her up and moving, she proceeded to squint at me, and pretend snore... this is after she had already said "hi" to me as I entered her room. Pretty ingenious...she seemed to think she could get out of getting up if she just pretended she wasn't awake. Did she learn this one from Little O's Dad? Or is this just one of those genetic things?
The real question is this... If I pretend to sleep, will someone else get up and get the day started? How do I out "fake sleep" Little O's Dad? Any ideas?
