So, my daughter (Olivia, 4.5 yrs) is horrible to sleep with. She is a kicker and a thrasher and queen of her domain. Unlike her brother (Lucas, 6.5 yrs) who sleeps soundly and contently and stays put in his bed, Olivia has developed a habit of wandering into our bed in the middle of the night. She didn't sleep with us as a baby and we have had some short-term success at keeping her in her bed, but it doesn't seem to stick for long. She is stubborn that way.
ANYWAY... she ventured into our bed last night shortly after 3 a.m. or so. She woke Mom and I up and, while she fell into a slumber, we struggled to do the same. Regulated to a narrow strip on the edge of the bed, with knees and elbows and eventually whole body jabbing me in the back and sheet constantly being kicked off, I lay wide awake despite my best efforts. Many sheep were counted. To no avail. At 4:30 I got up. Grr.
It's gonna be a looong day.
