The Prince(ss) and the Puffy

I am so incredibly sick. We have all been sick, but dragon and I had to make a trip to the doctor for some healing potions. She is doing better, but I am not. I can't sleep. Not because I'm sick, although that doesn't help, but because between a sick dragon and a teething lion man no one in this house sleeps. Last night was particularly bad because my adorable little lion man would. not. sleep!!! I tried everything, a warm bottle, cuddles, medicine.....nothing was working. After about three hours of this (bear in mind this started at 12:30) I finally decided to change his jammies. Nothing else had worked, and I was praying to any god that would listen to just LET ME REST!! So I pulled off his jammies in desperation, only to find the reason for his sleeplessness. He had a puffy stuck to his butt. If you are a parent, you know what a puffy is...it is a puffed grain snack made for babies. It is like baby crack. They can't get enough. My little prince(ss) could not sleep because he had a puffy stuck to his butt. Maybe because I am so very tired, or maybe I am just going even more insane, but I found this to be the funniest thing ever. It reminded me of the old fairy tale, "The Princess and the Pea".
