Lauren has been sleeping through the night in her own room for a few weeks. Not necessarily in her bed, but in the room, nonetheless. Then, a few nights ago, she snuck into our bed in the middle of the night again. The next morning, we talked about why she needs to stay in her own room (I love you but I need my sleep, too).
That night, I woke to her foot steps, raised my head and saw the top of her head peaking over our tall bed. "Lauren, go back to your room" I mumbled. She shushed me as she climbed onto the bed, "go back to sleep, mommy. Stay asleep." The mommy got shushed by the three year old.
Later, she told me she wanted me to stay asleep so I would not tell her to go back to her room. Good logic? Yes. Am I just a tad bit worried about what her teenage years are to be like? Just a bit. Just a bit.
