Speaker 1: Welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast. The Sleep
Speaker 1: Deprivation with Kids. We had it with Ruby.
Speaker 2: Our first child is like it's it can become a
Speaker 2: nightmare like it is torm mentioned.
Speaker 1: We had a really rough first couple of years, the.
Speaker 3: First six months. Obviously a baby is hard. But when
Speaker 3: once he started sleeping properly, we thought, okay, dun, dusty,
Speaker 3: you've got one. Now we just sleep through the night.
Speaker 3: So we have to have this new and putting into
Speaker 3: bed used to be so easy. I used to hear
Speaker 3: other parents had to sit with their child book after
Speaker 3: book after book. Some nights I would just go in
Speaker 3: there and say like good night and then walk out
Speaker 3: and he was asleep.
Speaker 1: And now he's.
Speaker 2: Like first six or seven years of Ruby's life, Sarah
Speaker 2: and I every night at bedtime, you we had to
Speaker 2: wait in the bed until she's gone to sleep. Of course,
Speaker 2: then I'd always be by the walls so she was
Speaker 2: next to me. Then it was like they're like spirit level.
Speaker 2: You start to move by bit to try and how.
Speaker 1: Am I going to get out the bloody bed?
Speaker 2: Because then suddenly then I'd be commando crawl out the
Speaker 2: whole thing. I was just dread nighttimes and I and
Speaker 2: then she we was like, where are you going? You're
Speaker 2: away some pilates and then getting back in that bed.
Speaker 1: Must have been sleep walking again.
Speaker 3: So we're tag teaming at the moment. So being will
Speaker 3: do an hour trying to put him to sleep, and
Speaker 3: then that doesn't work, so tag me in, and then
Speaker 3: I'll go and tell them some stories and then tag
Speaker 3: her back in again.
Speaker 1: Out of nowhere. Used to be so good. This is
Speaker 1: how it is.
Speaker 2: Suddenly what worked yesterday, they're not the same kids, Like, can't.
Speaker 1: You do like a factory reset? On account of the phone.
Speaker 3: I've tried to explain to him. I actually said, you
Speaker 3: used to go to sleep so much.
Speaker 2: He was trying reason a logic part of the brain
Speaker 2: that doesn't exist.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, as if I don't know what I was
Speaker 3: hoping for.
Speaker 1: Why a great mental frame you've given me.
Speaker 4: There that you just get into a routine and get
Speaker 4: a normal and then they change. That this will happen
Speaker 4: for many years. And don't make the mistake that Chris
Speaker 4: and I did, because you know, I was doing bricky
Speaker 4: radio and sleep was just so important, so important. Just
Speaker 4: put her in our bed with us, now, do not
Speaker 4: do that, because she'll be in there till she's.
Speaker 1: You do cave in and do that. That is a
Speaker 1: tough No.
Speaker 3: He's never come and slept in the bed, but anytime
Speaker 3: he's tried, he has been too excited that everybody's there
Speaker 3: in the bed. Yeah, it is exactly. This is awesome, guys.
Speaker 1: Why haven't we done this before? So much more fun.
Speaker 1: It's for you guys. None of us getting sleep.
Speaker 2: And that's the great thing about it, because you don't
Speaker 2: have anything to do during the day. You want to
Speaker 2: get up in a couple of hours time. I think
Speaker 2: at the moment, you've got to lean into the dinosaur.
Speaker 2: And it is so inch because actually you're right those
Speaker 2: words he's saying, like dinosaur names are really long and complicated.
Speaker 1: How can they grasp that?
Speaker 3: I don't know how he's collecting that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then during the nursery they're still not doing ball.
Speaker 2: Right and it comes down with his big wind in
Speaker 2: Stegosaurus to rnosaurs wrecked.
Speaker 3: So I've got the dinosaur bed sheets up. I reckon,
Speaker 3: that's the next thing.
Speaker 1: A dinosaur up the bedroom and that and really lean
Speaker 1: into that. And he loves that. And see how he
Speaker 1: it's on with good luck. Look Christian Connall Show Podcast,
Speaker 1: thank you very much.
Speaker 2: Everyone is trying to help Jack and his wife out
Speaker 2: the moment with their two year old son, Gordy, who,
Speaker 2: for some unknown reason just suddenly doesn't like his bed anymore.
Speaker 2: I'm done with that Bits of losers, Christian. Can you
Speaker 2: ask Jack? I will ask Jack in a minute, Chrs.
Speaker 2: What type of bed does he have?
Speaker 3: It is a single bed on a old wooden frame, Christian.
Speaker 2: I found putting my kids in a toddler bed was
Speaker 2: easier than a big single bed and only does for
Speaker 2: a few years. But it seems to make it smaller
Speaker 2: and cozier for them. Maybe he goes back. Maybe he
Speaker 2: does that instead and swaps the beds.
Speaker 3: That makes sense. Why he would crawl into the cot.
Speaker 3: Maybe it feels it's too big.
Speaker 2: It's more contained and like it's a nest for him.
Speaker 2: Like he's into the dinosaurs at the moment. They used
Speaker 2: to have nests, didn't they did? They sit on dinosaur eggs?
Speaker 3: Yeah, dinosaur egg that sounds familiar.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jack, why not try glowing the dark dinosaur stickers
Speaker 2: above his bed?
Speaker 3: You know what's funny about I'm just still scrolling through
Speaker 3: dinosaur bed sheets is maybe a way to make him
Speaker 3: like his bed again. So many of these are selling
Speaker 3: for double beds. Who what kids are sleeping in double beds?
Speaker 3: Or what adults or what adults getting dinosaur sheets.
Speaker 1: We're not to judge anyone like that.
Speaker 2: You know, when I recommended, why don't you get him
Speaker 2: some bed sheets, dinosaur bed sheets, I was envious, sadly
Speaker 2: that's grown ups now. It's like boring colors. It's a
Speaker 2: semed pans and go into the carpet. Gris getting to
Speaker 2: me bright colors in case we ever get to resell
Speaker 2: it and stuff that expent for the phone zones.
Speaker 3: Did you ever have themed bed sheets at any stage
Speaker 3: in your life?
Speaker 1: Yes, I did add my local my soccer team. I
Speaker 1: used to love that bed Yeah. I was to kiss
Speaker 1: the captain good night the face, just to wish him
Speaker 1: luck for the game, just to say good night to him.
Speaker 2: Actually I met him many years later as an adult,
Speaker 2: and I felt slightly because I told him the bed sheets.
Speaker 2: Sorry and this. I don't know what I thought he
Speaker 2: would do with the story, other than feel very weird.
Speaker 2: At the opposite, A now middle aged man talking about
Speaker 2: in his early years before teenage years he said, No, okay,
Speaker 2: I was just very confused.
Speaker 3: That's why my little pursed as I met you, Brian.
Speaker 2: I think I've been here before, one of my leaning in, Brian.
Speaker 2: It's so powerful to see you like this last time
Speaker 2: I saw you on my pedow case. Anyway, Patsy, do

Speaker 1: Was that from the black and white days?
Speaker 4: No, not the black and white days? And she had
Speaker 4: like a patchwork sort of dress on and a big
Speaker 4: bonnet and you never saw her face. She was just
Speaker 4: sign on. She's big in Australia in the seventies. Holy
Speaker 4: Hobby and you could get cups and mugs in all
Speaker 4: the paraphernalia.
Speaker 1: Jackson said, A quick look can tell you're not impressed.
Speaker 1: Just like basic generic girl illustration.

Speaker 2: Christian Goomon and Martin and craigieburn and tell Jack you
Speaker 2: can remove the drop side from some model cots you
Speaker 2: can then change it into a toddler bed.
Speaker 1: This might also help.
Speaker 3: Yes, No, you have to buy extra attachment, which we
Speaker 3: could do.
Speaker 1: We could do.
Speaker 4: Toddler beds don't work. We had that with Audery. It
Speaker 4: just makes it easier for them to get out because
Speaker 4: they're just like thirty cinnamons off the floor.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right. It's an easy to drop down, isn't it. Yeah?
Speaker 2: So what do you have her up in a treehouse?
