Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast. The Sleep
Deprivation with Kids. We had it with Ruby.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Our first child is like it's it can become a
nightmare like it is torm mentioned.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
We had a really rough first couple of years, the.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
First six months. Obviously a baby is hard. But when
once he started sleeping properly, we thought, okay, dun, dusty,
you've got one. Now we just sleep through the night.
So we have to have this new and putting into
bed used to be so easy. I used to hear
other parents had to sit with their child book after
book after book. Some nights I would just go in
there and say like good night and then walk out
(00:33):
and he was asleep.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
And now he's.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Like first six or seven years of Ruby's life, Sarah
and I every night at bedtime, you we had to
wait in the bed until she's gone to sleep. Of course,
then I'd always be by the walls so she was
next to me. Then it was like they're like spirit level.
You start to move by bit to try and how.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Am I going to get out the bloody bed?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Because then suddenly then I'd be commando crawl out the
whole thing. I was just dread nighttimes and I and
then she we was like, where are you going? You're
away some pilates and then getting back in that bed.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Must have been sleep walking again.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
So we're tag teaming at the moment. So being will
do an hour trying to put him to sleep, and
then that doesn't work, so tag me in, and then
I'll go and tell them some stories and then tag
her back in again.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Out of nowhere. Used to be so good. This is
how it is.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Suddenly what worked yesterday, they're not the same kids, Like, can't.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
You do like a factory reset? On account of the phone.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
I've tried to explain to him. I actually said, you
used to go to sleep so much.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
He was trying reason a logic part of the brain
that doesn't exist.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Yeah, yeah, as if I don't know what I was
hoping for.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Why a great mental frame you've given me.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
There that you just get into a routine and get
a normal and then they change. That this will happen
for many years. And don't make the mistake that Chris
and I did, because you know, I was doing bricky
radio and sleep was just so important, so important. Just
put her in our bed with us, now, do not
do that, because she'll be in there till she's.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
You do cave in and do that. That is a
tough No.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
He's never come and slept in the bed, but anytime
he's tried, he has been too excited that everybody's there
in the bed. Yeah, it is exactly. This is awesome, guys.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Why haven't we done this before? So much more fun.
It's for you guys. None of us getting sleep.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
And that's the great thing about it, because you don't
have anything to do during the day. You want to
get up in a couple of hours time. I think
at the moment, you've got to lean into the dinosaur.
And it is so inch because actually you're right those
words he's saying, like dinosaur names are really long and complicated.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
How can they grasp that?
Speaker 3 (02:41):
I don't know how he's collecting that.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yeah, and then during the nursery they're still not doing ball.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Right and it comes down with his big wind in
Stegosaurus to rnosaurs wrecked.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
So I've got the dinosaur bed sheets up. I reckon,
that's the next thing.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
A dinosaur up the bedroom and that and really lean
into that. And he loves that. And see how he
it's on with good luck. Look Christian Connall Show Podcast,
thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Everyone is trying to help Jack and his wife out
the moment with their two year old son, Gordy, who,
for some unknown reason just suddenly doesn't like his bed anymore.
I'm done with that Bits of losers, Christian. Can you
ask Jack? I will ask Jack in a minute, Chrs.
What type of bed does he have?
Speaker 3 (03:22):
It is a single bed on a old wooden frame, Christian.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
I found putting my kids in a toddler bed was
easier than a big single bed and only does for
a few years. But it seems to make it smaller
and cozier for them. Maybe he goes back. Maybe he
does that instead and swaps the beds.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
That makes sense. Why he would crawl into the cot.
Maybe it feels it's too big.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
It's more contained and like it's a nest for him.
Like he's into the dinosaurs at the moment. They used
to have nests, didn't they did? They sit on dinosaur eggs?
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Yeah, dinosaur egg that sounds familiar.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Yeah, Jack, why not try glowing the dark dinosaur stickers
above his bed?
Speaker 3 (04:04):
You know what's funny about I'm just still scrolling through
dinosaur bed sheets is maybe a way to make him
like his bed again. So many of these are selling
for double beds. Who what kids are sleeping in double beds?
Or what adults or what adults getting dinosaur sheets.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
We're not to judge anyone like that.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
You know, when I recommended, why don't you get him
some bed sheets, dinosaur bed sheets, I was envious, sadly
that's grown ups now. It's like boring colors. It's a
semed pans and go into the carpet. Gris getting to
me bright colors in case we ever get to resell
it and stuff that expent for the phone zones.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Did you ever have themed bed sheets at any stage
in your life?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Yes, I did add my local my soccer team. I
used to love that bed Yeah. I was to kiss
the captain good night the face, just to wish him
luck for the game, just to say good night to him.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Actually I met him many years later as an adult,
and I felt slightly because I told him the bed sheets.
Sorry and this. I don't know what I thought he
would do with the story, other than feel very weird.
At the opposite, A now middle aged man talking about
in his early years before teenage years he said, No, okay,
I was just very confused.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
That's why my little pursed as I met you, Brian.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
I think I've been here before, one of my leaning in, Brian.
It's so powerful to see you like this last time
I saw you on my pedow case. Anyway, Patsy, do
you have did you have your own sort of branded
bed sheets as Patrina Jones News?
Speaker 4 (05:31):
No, not sheets, but I had quilled No. I had
a Holly Hobby quilt. Holly Hobby was huge hobby.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Oh, she was like this little girl, like a cartoon girl.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Was that from the black and white days?
Speaker 4 (05:42):
No, not the black and white days? And she had
like a patchwork sort of dress on and a big
bonnet and you never saw her face. She was just
sign on. She's big in Australia in the seventies. Holy
Hobby and you could get cups and mugs in all
the paraphernalia.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Jackson said, A quick look can tell you're not impressed.
Just like basic generic girl illustration.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Not very exciting. Well, did you have jack Ninja Turtles?

Speaker 3 (06:16):

wonder there are grown ups that have bed sheets now,
like there are like a f L team.

them for a whole range.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Christian Goomon and Martin and craigieburn and tell Jack you
can remove the drop side from some model cots you
can then change it into a toddler bed.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
This might also help.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Yes, No, you have to buy extra attachment, which we
could do.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
We could do.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Toddler beds don't work. We had that with Audery. It
just makes it easier for them to get out because
they're just like thirty cinnamons off the floor.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Yeah, you're right. It's an easy to drop down, isn't it. Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:03):

Locked up in that castle like Rapunzel? In our bed Christian,
my wife and I had to have a set of
millennium Falcon bed sheets.
Speaker 3 (08:16):

Speaker 1 (08:17):
We are judging. You know, I was doing a radio bow.
