Upside Down Show


Nico really loves a program on Nick Jr called The Upside Down Show. It's an Aussie show about two brothers who live in a fantastcial house full of doors. They explore different themes like Hot and Cold or new words like Theatre and Opera. It's pretty smart, filled with lots inside jokes for the parents. Nico thinks the two guys are hilarious. Every banana peel they slip on is followed by a deep belly laugh. If Nico does something silly he tells me, "como upside down show." I was thinking of the show the other night when Nico and I were deep in our 3 a.m. sleep dance/routine. During the night Nico dreams quite a bit. He sits straight up in bed, sometimes for a few seconds only to come crashing down wherever he lands. I usually adjust myself accordingly, readjusting our bodies back into our spooned position. Throughout the night we end up perpendicular to the bed and then eventually feet at the head of the bed. When I wake up I feel so disoriented, like I'm hanging upside down. I usually pick Nico up and correct the situation, bringing our heads back to " where they should be." Just the other night I could hardly fall back to sleep, thinking about how Nico has no sense of "wrong" and how things "should be" Life is so much better that way. I need to relax and enjoy my sleep anyway I can get it, 'right' side up or down upside.
