Like all children, Brooklynn has some habits that leave you scratching your head going, "Now why does she DO that?" One of those things is the fact that she won't leave her sheets on her bed. She hates them. It doesn't matter if she's sleeping in her bed here, or at her Mother's house, she's pulling the sheets off of the bed!
This morning when I went in to wake her up for school, I discovered two things: 1) That she took the sheets off of her bed (no surprise there) and 2) She was sleeping in the floor amongst her sheets, pillows, blankets and stuffed animals. THIS means that she woke up in the middle of the night because when we went to bed last night, she was sound asleep. When she does wake up, she doesn't come and get us, she stays in her room and watches tv.
Now we have no way of knowing how long she was awake, so when I go into her room to wake the girls up, I have to feel her out and see just how tired she is. This morning, she was exhausted :(
For Brooklynn, being exhausted means something completely different than it does to you and I. She already has a hard time making her body perform the way it's supposed to, can you imagine trying to do that without the proper amount of sleep? Needless to say, we will be keeping Brooklynn home from school today.
