I know, I know, I have been terrible about posting Tanner's sleep talking. Some folks have reminded us that they have disappeared as of late. They were a regular part of the blog up until we had Eric. Then I learned to sleep through it, I think because I was so sleep deprived, and I went months without waking up to it. But there have been plenty of new ones this past year, I will write the few that I can actually remember:
*Also, all of these I remember happen when I get home from work at midnight/1 am and I come into bed and Tanner is already sleeping
After getting home from work and showering, I went to get into bed and Tanner sits up and starts yelling gibberish. I start laughing and climb into bed, but don't put the blanket over myself completely. Tanner makes a growling sound, then angrily jerks the blanket over me and says "put this back over, don't you know I'm multinucleated??"
I open the bedroom door and Tanner makes his scared sound and says, "Mom?? Is that you?" It's amazing to me how many times he has called me Mom in his sleep when he hasn't lived with his Mom in almost five years. Anyway, continuing on:
"No, it's me Nina."
"Nina who?"
"Nina, your wife."
"No you're not!"
"Yes I am."
I start getting in bed and Tanner starts to sit up and lifts his hand like he's going to slap me.
"Don't you do it!"
"Tanner, it's me, please, lie down and go to sleep!"
"Ok (insert sad tone), good night."
I walk in and Tanner stirs slightly. I turn around to put my clothes in the hamper and turn back around and Tanner sitting up facing me and says menacingly (we'll pretend that's a word): "WHO IS YOU?!?"
"It's me, Nina."
"Oh. Ok. You're so beautiful. Love you. Goodnight."
Just a few nights ago I came home and showered and couldn't go to bed yet because I needed to unwind so I watched tv for a few minutes. I was watching and the bedroom door opens and Tanner does a weird jumping step towards the couch and pulls his arm back with his hand in a fist. This is probably the only time I've almost worried Tanner might hit me in his sleep. As usual, he sounded angry/scared. "What are you doing in here?"
"I couldn't sleep, what are you doing?"
"What is this? I don't know." He then proceeds to turn around his head against the wall and I think he fell back asleep for a second.
"Tanner, go to bed, I'll be in soon."
"Ok. Bye bye."
Lying in bed Tanner's foot touched my leg and he started wiggling his foot and said, "Do you feel that? It's a fluid motion moving infinitely."
"I think you're an interesting chemical reaction going on here."
The funniest one recently I will have to edit because Tanner said a word that I can't put on here because this is a family friendly blog, but it was hilarious.
"You think you know?!"
"Know what?"
"Well I saw the green on the frog, and it was [crappy]!"
You can't judge him for swearing because it was in his sleep, so it doesn't count.
I will try to be better about updating them, sorry for the long hiatus!
*I feel I should add that no one need worry about me getting mauled by Tanner, he wouldn't really attack me. :)
