So Scary

Dear Teagan:
You've been sleeping in our bed on and off lately. Sometimes it's because I want to watch TV in bed while daddy watches football and we fall asleep together and sometimes it's because you wake up because you lost your binky and I just bring you to our room. So anyway...the other night you ended up in our bed. And you are a madman while sleeping lately. Half the time you end up with your head at our feet or you're laying across our pillows above our heads. It's just nuts. So anyway, you somehow got either on top of daddy or just crawled over him and got on the outside of the bed. He went to roll over or get up or something and off the bed you went. I jumped up and turned on the light and look down and there you were...on your head...feet in the air. I thought you had broke your neck or something. I was so scared. Daddy practically threw you at me. You were barely awake and then you started crying. Then it turned to the hystarical cry...the kind when you can't even take a breath because you're crying so hard. I was so scared you had a concussion or were injured in some way. You just wanted your binky and to go back to sleep. You had no idea what happened. So for the rest of the night daddy didn't sleep because he felt so bad and he was worried you'd get over him again and he wouldn't notice. And I slept with my arm under you and then one on your chest to make sure you stayed breathing normal.
So, needless to say, no more giving in and letting you sleep with us. Last night you cried out a little but it wasn't even enough to really wake me up. And this morning you got up and were in a good mood. Usually you are kind of whiney and clingy in the morning. I think it's because 1- You don't sleep good with us, 2- You wake up to daddy's alarm and 3- because of 1 & 2 you are still tired so you just want all of my attention. When you sleep in your own bed though, you stay in your crib and jibber jabber to yourself while I get ready in the morning then you're so excited to see me when I go in there. Then we can just leave. So life just runs smoother when you sleep in your own bed. But...I must admit, sometimes I do miss you not sleeping with us. I love to nuggle with you!!!
Time to leave work.
I love you to the moon and back baby.
Love,
Mommy
