Pet peeve #254 about J: he kicks in his sleep. He’s not thrashing around or anything, just kicking in short, controlled bursts. All night long. My theory? He’s dreaming that he’s clog dancing. Or more like he’s learning to clog dance. He pauses while the instructor shows him a few steps, then repeats them. Then he has to wait a bit. As the instructor shows the steps to a few other students before he’s able to kick up his heels once more, causing the entire bedframe to shake. It’s certainly preferable to snoring. But we’ll be in big trouble if he ever dreams he’s moved up to the next level…an all-night solo recital.
