Carli started out in her bed last night and was doing well. I'm not exactly sure what happened, but sometime during the night (or very early morning) she came in and crawled into bed with us.
Which is ok, there must have been a very good reason as to why she wanted to be with us. Bad dream perhaps? Whatever the reason, I'm just glad she did. She's always welcome to come in and sleep with us, but I do prefer that she sleep in her own bed of course.
She slept in until 0900, which is unusual for her and I guess she needed the sleep. Now she is up and about causing mayhem and mischief wherever she goes - ok, only kidding. She's being a very good little girl. She's eating some breakfast and will go play when she is finished with her cereal.
Carli is outside in the backyard playing with her dog...throwing the ball and generally having a lot of fun, which is cool. I love that she has a dog because she always has someone to play with. It would be nice if she had a little friend to play with, but I'm not going to stress the issue...what's the point?!

Hooray - another successful night!
Carli successfully slept all night in her bedroom again last night. I know it's only the second night, but I'm still thrilled that she's doing it. She came into our room asking if she could sleep with us.
I gently said, "No, you need to go back to bed." Then she said, 'but I'm thirsty." And I told her, "well, go get something to drink" and she promptly walked herself out to the kitchen and got a drink of green tea. Then she went back to her bed and went back to sleep.

Carli and sleeping through the night in her own bed
Carli successfully slept through the night in her own bed last night, without once getting up to come into bed with James and I. She even managed to sleep without having the television on all night. I went and turned it off around 10 p.m. when I myself went to bed.
I thought she would wake up and fuss about it, but she didn't. I was surprised, but happy that she remained asleep. I guess she didn't because before she went to bed we told her that she was to try and sleep without having the t.v. on all night, I told her that I would be coming in to turn her t.v. off after she'd fallen asleep and she acknowledged that it would be alright if I did.
So, I did. Yay for Carli managing to stay asleep all night, in her own bed, in her own bedroom. It wasn't very difficult for her because I think she really wants to do it and not sleep with mom and dad anymore. She's nearly 8 years old (November) and she is ready to be a big girl.
