I was laying there talking to Todd, when in walks Megan with her "I'm too scared" line. Usually, she gets escorted back to her bed with a "It's your very own room and all the things that are in it are your things. There's nothing to be afraid of." speech but this time, I lifted my blankets and in she crawled! It was so wonderful to have a tiny snuggle-buddy! After a while, I carried her to her bed and snuggled a bit more before I left her sleeping.
Well, that bit me in the butt! She's by far the hardest of the kids to get to sleep anyway often ends up in our bed around 5am (which I love), and now she has this delicious memory of snuggling in Mom and Dad's bed! GAH!
A couple of nights ago, in an effort to keep her in bed after she repeatedly got up insisting that she's scared and needs to sleep in our bed, I gave her her flashlight. My instructions to her where to not leave it on and not shine it in her eyes. Well she did leave it on, Brandon, being the doting big brother he can be sometimes, went in after she was asleep and turned it off :) The kicker is that this was what I found when I went in to check on her before I went to bed:
She had books in her bed! Little stinker ;) I'm not so sure she was trying to go to sleep! This wasn't a huge shocker for me as there have been many nights that I've gone into her room shortly after leaving only to find her sitting up in her bed with a pile of books. She even turned on her light a few times, but she stopped as soon as she realized that I would see it ;)
