Oct 2017

but my children (two and only two) never woke up in the middle of the night asking for water. Not sure why, not sure if I did something right or something wrong, but I can only report that they never did so.

As a consequence, I've always been somewhat puzzled by such reports. However, I'm pretty sure if they'd been the kind of kids who wok up in the middle of the night asking for water, I'd have gotten it for them. I feel remarkably certain I'd never had put a 3 year old out under a tree at 3am, no matter what the provocation.
