As a vigilant parent, I rely on a video baby monitor to keep tabs on my little ones, ensuring they’re truly asleep and not just biding their time until I check on them. These clever kids can be quite the strategists. After putting them to bed, I find myself peeking at the monitor every few minutes, curious about their nighttime musings.
Sometimes, I catch them giggling or playing quietly; other times, they’re having a full-on meltdown. But it’s the moments of silence that intrigue me the most. What could they possibly be contemplating? Below are my thoughts on what might be racing through their minds:
- Why does Leo the Lion wear pajamas at night but not in the daytime? My kids are observant like that.
- How can I score some candy? Honestly, who doesn’t think this at 2 AM when the craving hits?
- What does Mom do while I’m sleeping? Snack on some candy, obviously.
- How long do I have to be on my best behavior to earn that sweet treat? Spoiler alert: candy is for adults.
- Why does Mom shut the door when she uses the restroom, while I’m just squatting anywhere? Well, you’re still figuring out this whole potty training thing. At least you can enjoy some screen time while you go.
- This diaper is totally ruining my vibe. I think I’ll just take it off and toss it into my brother’s crib! Adding duct tape to the diapering routine is a must.
- What’s the fuss about clothes anyway? That’s a question for another day.
- I hope tomorrow’s bath night! Only if there’s spaghetti involved—it’s a classic combo.
- Candy, candy, candy! Enough with the milk breath already.
- What’s coffee? It seems super important to Mom. Please stop spilling it; it makes her sad.
- When can I have cheesecake for breakfast like Mom did? Maybe when you have your own place, since Mommy doesn’t share.
- I should probably inform Mom that grapes aren’t candy. She might not know. Good luck with that; they are nature’s candy, after all.
- Why does my brother have an extra finger down there? We’ll save that chat for when you’re older. I definitely need more coffee and maybe a little whiskey for that conversation.
- Why does the spider keep climbing up the water spout? Maybe he didn’t eat his vegetables!
- I really like Mom. She’s funny and smart—I want to be just like her when I grow up, especially so I can buy all the candy! Just remember to make enough money for your sweet tooth, but not enough to send me away to a home.
