Emily wasn't a very good sleeper when she was younger. It
took a long time for her to be able to sleep through the night. I would wake up
whenever she did so I spend a good couple of years really sleep deprived.
She’s nearly five now, and has been sleeping well in her own
room for a couple of years. She generally doesn't get up at all unless she has
a nightmare or needs to go to the bathroom. Todd is the night owl in the
family, so he generally takes care of any nighttime issues.
I was in the middle of a dead sleep in the middle of the
night last night when I thought I heard Emily’s door open. It seemed like it
was partly in a dream but it bothered me enough that I got up and checked on
her. Sure enough, she was awake and upset because she had had a potty accident.
Todd was dozing in the chair as he does nearly every night
and hadn't heard a thing. He woke up and we got her calmed down and into clean
clothes. He ended up taking over and getting her tucked back in so I could go
back to bed since I work early in the morning.
Even though it’s not often anymore, I’m glad I still have my
mommy senses from when she was a baby. She was half asleep and really upset
when I went into her room.
