Katelee has had a few silly sleeping incidents lately!
About 3 weeks ago, I put Katelee down for nap. After awhile, I went into her room to check on her. I couldn't see her anywhere, but I could hear her snoring! I finally located the source of the snoring - under her bed! She had built herself a little nest of blankets and was sound asleep! What a silly girl!
Another funny habit that I have seen her do a few times in the past few months is she'll take her pillow and put it over her head and then fall asleep. It was dark, and Gerald and I are quiet, so it's not like she needs to block out the sound or light . . . maybe this 'burrowing' makes her feel safe?
The final episode took place last Thursday afternoon, and it really scared me! I was teaching piano lessons, and unfortunately, Katelee was having one of those rare days when she isn't going to sleep well. I could tell she was soooo tired, and she really needed her sleep. I couldn't take the time to stay in her room and help her fall asleep because I was teaching, so I told her to go to her bed and stay there. She went, crying, and I continued teaching hoping she would cry herself to sleep. After a few minutes she stopped crying. I let more time pass and then decided to go and peek in at her and make sure she was asleep. I looked in her room and couldn't see her anywhere. Of course, I immediately looked under her bed, and she wasn't there either. Giving my piano student another song to play, I started looking in my bedroom and in the family room. I looked everywhere two times and then I started to get panicky. I began calling her name, all the while starting to imagine all the crazy, unlikely horrible fates that could have befallen her! I FINALLY found her - under my bed. She was completely hidden by our bedskirt. And she was sound asleep.
Funny girl. :) Amanda often wants to sleep somewhere other than her bed, but she hasn't gotten as resourceful as Katelee about it; I might wait awhile before showing Amanda these pictures . . .
