More Sleeping

Here I am talking about Leah and sleeping again. I wonder how many posts in a row I could do? ;)

So last night she said she wanted to sleep in her room and then a little while later changed her mind but I was on the phone so I got a minute before I had to answer her.

As much as we all know I wanted her to sleep with me (and oh I did!), I decided I wanted to giver her some kind of incentive to choose her room. So I told her if she sleep in her room we'd still do books & songs (part of her nightly routine) but if she slept in my room - which she was more than welcome to do - we were only doing prayers and then going to sleep. She thinks for a minute and then chooses her room.

So we read the books, say her prayer, turn out the lights, sing her songs and right as I finish the last song she sits up and says "Let's go to your bed now!"

Um.

I think not.

HELLO? Did she just try to work me over?? Sheesh!

It was really hard for me to say no to that. I just told her she'd already made her choice & since we did books/songs she needed to go to sleep in her bed. I suddenly wished I hadn't started this path! But she didn't fight me. She went to sleep fairly quickly.

She did come into my bed in the middle of the night. I have no idea what time. I went to bed a little after midnight and I was sound asleep when she woke up. I barely woke up and she said "I want to stay here." and I let her curl in my arm and then I told her to go back to sleep. I woke up this morning with her against my back and it made me grin! :)
