Sleep Tight

When I was putting Henry and Elena to bed last night, Henry decided it would be a good idea for Elena to sleep in his bed with him. I had my doubts about whether there would be a lot of sleeping going on, but his suggestion was so cute that I let them give it a try. So after I read them a chapter of "Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle" and we said our prayers, I left the room to put Ingrid to bed, fully expecting to need to intervene in the big kid's room. To my surprise, I heard very little noise from in there. By the time I put Ingrid in her crib and went to check on Henry and Lanie, the two of them were sound asleep. Lanie's little tush was in the air, and Henry was sprawled out like a teenager, but their heads were together.

At about 2 in the morning, Josh and I woke to the sound of Elena crying. We forgot that while Lanie's bed has railings on the sides, Henry's does not: she had rolled out of bed and onto the floor in her sleep. Next time we'll have to insist that Lanie gets the spot next to the wall.
