Things that go bump in the night

Count them, not once but twice. That’s how many times Abby has ended up in our bed this week. Abby never sleeps with us, never. The first time was on Tuesday. She woke up having a bad dream, the forest was dark. Well yes honey the forest is dark at night. I settled her down and thought she was going to sleep. Well, she then called again. This time it was because her bed was making noise. Again, well honey if you didn’t sleep with 3 baby dolls, 12 stuffed animals and a blanket then maybe there would be enough room for you and you baby’s head wouldn’t have to knock into the wall. Marty took care of it that time. Then we hear her door open. We were very excited because we thought she was going to the bathroom on her own. She always calls us to take her to the bathroom in the middle of the night. We were wrong; she appeared in our room wanting to sleep with us. Hop on in honey. She did it again last night but it was because we had a pretty bad thunderstorm that woke her up. Ever since a thunderstorm snuck up on us while we were at the park, she has been terrified of thunder. Hop on in honey. Our bed gets pretty full with 2 adults, a dog and a child. I would love a king bed but our room just isn’t big enough. I love snuggling her but I’m ready to have my bed back.

We would love a king sized bed too, but it wouldn't fit in our room either! Abigail ends up in our bed sometimes too. The older she gets, the harder it is for us all to fit!

We're still in the midst of all this too but my kids have learned to sleep on the floor next to the bed, and they don't mind at all, and we get to sleep in comfort!( I do provide a blanket and pillow)
