As someone who did not allow my kids to sleep in my bed it is hard to adjust when small toes dig into your ribs throughout the night. I have two grandchildren a boy and a girl. They sleep in the same room at home, but they have bunk beds. At nana's house they sleep in the same room but in a queen bed. As they went to bed last night papa laid on the bed telling them stories. My granddaughter states as she listens that she wasn't sleeping with boys and proceeded to wail at the top of her lungs. I went to check and as she tried to explain through the sobs what she wanted I had a difficult time understanding. I was able to calm her and reason what was wrong. She said I'm not sleeping with boys, I sleep with girls. I took her to my bed and explained to papa that he had to stay in the boys bed. Eventually my granddaughter settled into her sleep. As she did she turned sideways she stretched out her skinny pointy toes to reach my ribs. I straightened her to the same position as I was but she turned every time. After several times doing this I gave up and positioned a pillow between us. She pushed this out of the way and her toes sought out my ribs again. As morning approached my hubby came into the room and repositioned her again. Later in the morning as I woke and so did my granddaughter her body was again sideways but her toes had not reached my ribs yet!!
I love our sleepovers and I guess I will have to adjust to the toes. At least until she stays parallel to me in the bed.
Tonight I will pass out I imagine!!
