Me: Good nite baby!
T: Good nite Mummy!
Me: See you tomorrow!
T: See you tomorrow Mummy!
Me: I Love you baby!
T: I love you Mummy!
(Silence for awhile)
T: Mummy im going to face the other side. If you're scared when you're sleeping, just call me then ill face you ok?
Me: (almost falling off the bed in laughter) ok!
Im amused because she is totally afraid of the dark. If she is half asleeep and i sneak off, 2 minutes later ill hear her plaintive bleating emanating down the stairs. If I hold off any longer going up to her, she will come running helter-skelter down the stairs as if there is a monster in her wake.
And yes, she is sleeping with us once again in our room. Her in the baby's cot (?!) and baby in between us. No amount of cajoling/promised treats/pretty princessy bedsheets/threats can make her go back to her own room. 3 rooms upstairs and all 4 of us squished in the master bedroom...sigh....
I used to get all worked up and angry with her whenever she started yelling for us and we have to lie beside her and play dead for a good half an hour till she falls asleep. Until hubby gently pointed out that maybe she has a good reason for being scared and that we should never doubt what goes on in her mind, did i then relent and willingly "sentence" myself to lying in the dark beside her every night, silently willing her to quickly fall asleep. (At least now its better, she lets me surf the net beside her so im not bored to tears..)
I guess ill just have to wait till Baby Bone is old enough to sleep in his own bed then ill shove them both out of our room and back to their own room across the landing!
