Mum and Dad only slept for about half an hour.
I put in another fine sleepless performance last night.
After going to sleep at about 8 o'clock, I then woke up 11.
Mum fed me and popped me back in my bassinet.
But I was having none of it.
I squirmed and cried and made it clear I didn't want to sleep.
Mum paced and rocked and shushed for about an hour before calling for reinforcements.
Dad paced and rocked and shushed for about an hour...but there was no sleeping for me.
He took me out onto the balcony and I paused my carry-on to enjoy the cool breeze, bright lights and loud traffic noises.
But I couldn't stay out there.
Eventually, at about four o'clock in the morning Mum pulled out the fail-safe last resort.
The hug-a-bub.
I resisted sleep for about five minutes and then nodded off.
But the hug-a-bub only works while the person wearing it keeps moving.
Mum finally took me out and I stayed asleep on her chest.
That was at about five o'clock.
An hour later, we were all woken up by Noah.
"It's daytime!"
