As I shared a bedroom with my two nephews, it goes without saying that I had a very interesting evening.
I had settled down closer to 01:00am, but shortly after the older one tried to join me where I was sleeping, although it's hard to describe how he did so. Eventually, I just opted to go to his bed and pull him back with me for general comfort.
I woke up to a series of questions:
- Uncle, glasses?
- Are you sleepy?
- Are you sleepy, Uncle?
Even though I had affirmed that I was still quite sleepy, he had other plans and soon there was no denying the giggling and laughing because I needed to get into full Uncle mode. The younger nephew went through another bout of shyness at me being there in person (versus just on a screen), but he finally warmed up around dinnertime, which is good enough, I suppose.
I'll see if I'll get to sleep relatively separately tonight or if I'll have a nighttime visitor again. I strongly suspect the latter and maybe I'll save myself time by just squeezing into bed with him later. It's nice to be wanted, even if it doesn't necessarily result in the most comfortable sleep. And with there being no work tomorrow, I'm sure that the boys are going to keep me rather busy one way or another.
