Pumpkin has been trained to stay in her room until 7 am every morning. This morning, she showed up by my bedside at 5 something. She wasn't particularly upset, but she said something about being scared, or not, as I wasn't really paying attention in my sleepy stupor. She said that she wanted to stay in our room.
In the past, whenever we have allowed Pumpkin to join us in our bed, she has only wanted to play, which is both annoying, and not acceptable at 5 am, thus she has never actually slept with us. I wasn't about to start this habit, so I said either go back to your bed, or sleep on the floor with Lucky. I figured that she'd head back to her room, and then I promptly fell back to sleep.
It's a good thing that we have cushy dog beds, because that's where Pumpkin was when I glanced over in that direction upon waking up two hours later. To make matters worse, she later told me that she had a bad dream about a bad guy named, Jason, who was chasing us. This is the first I've ever heard her speak of a Jason. She won't watch The Princess and the Frog, but somehow managed to catch at least part of Friday the 13th???
Wow I'm bad at this.

Nah! I've taught my children that if my bedroom door is closed someone better be dead or bleeding before they knock - for any reason!!! This backfired on Christmas day when I heard them whispering, you go, no you go, no you go!!! Hahaha!
Welcome to my life! Hubby and I start the night alone in our bed. By morning, after wee-hour visits from both kids, we've done a swap - the kids are tucked into our bed and we're passed out in theirs (separatey!)
