Bedtime challenges...

The past week and a half Charis has had a really hard time settling in her bed a night time. She gets out of bed constantly and fights going to sleep. We find her a lot going in to Jaycie's room and sometimes waking her up claiming that she was trying to be very quiet. Many times we have found her asleep right out side of Jaycie's door on the floor. We have also found her in the bathroom on the potty sitting for very long periods of time...anything to keep from going to sleep!

This night I was so proud of her for staying in her bed...so I thought... and going to sleep so quickly and boy was I wrong. We walked in her room to check her and cover her sweet sleeping body and you see what we found!!! She had placed a book on every petal of her flower rugs and in the center and then she lined the rest up in nice neat rows. Now to help you understand how much this frustrated me...we are in the process of selling our house and I had just neatly placed these books on her bookshelf from tallest to shortest and spent a lot of time making them nice! I was a little frustrated...but it was very creative on her part and pretty funny.

Last week we put Charis to bed and at 10:30 pm we went to check on her and we could not find her!! We eventually went into Jaycie's room and this is what we found. Charis had crawled into Jaycie's bed with one of her books and was "reading" the book in the dark and fell asleep snuggling up to Jaycie. Jaycie was asleep the whole time. It was too precious. Phud did take her back to her bed though...
