Midnight Sleep-overs

I have to say that my favorite time with Brienna is when she's cuddly. She's usually doesn't want to snuggle until she's ready to go to sleep. Last night was no exception - she was full throttle until after 8:00pm!

For whatever reason she woke up at 3:30 this morning and started saying "Ma-ma" in her sing-song voice. I have to admit that is my favorite sound right now, but at 3:30 in the morning it's not what I expect to hear. I went into her room and she was sitting up in her crib waiting for me. When I grabbed her, she put her head on my shoulder and I thought it wouldn't be long until she was so drowsy I could put her back in bed. WRONG! She was in a snuggle mood.

After 4am rolled around, we had a bedtime heart-to-heart. "Are you tired?" "Uh-hu" "You want to get in your bed?" "Hu-uh" "You want to get in mommy's bed?" Without another response she bounded off my lap and started making her way to Mommy's bed. I tucked her in beside of me and we both finally went to sleep sometime after 5am.

The thing I have learned is that as much as I love sharing my bed (very seldomly) with her, she's not the best bed companion. She doesn't sleep still! She's on her tummy, on her side, on her back, sprawled out like no one else is in the bed, snuggled under the covers, hiding under the pillows, laying sideways, laying upside down...the positions are endless - and it's all while she's asleep!

My mother made the comment a couple of weeks ago that she wanted Boo to come down for a sleepover at Omi's house. All I can say is "Good luck!"
