It's a hard knock life.

Lucy has been waking up at 1 a.m. for several months now.  For a while, either Caleb or I would go and lay down on the floor next to her toddler bed until she fell asleep again (usually one of us did too).  After months of sleepless nights, and achy backs, this week we decided to change up how we dealt with the situation

We told Lucy, "if you wake up in the night, mommy and daddy aren't going to come and sleep in your room any more.  You can either go back to sleep in your bed or you can come and sleep on the floor next to mommy and daddy's bed."

This morning I woke up at 1 a.m. to Lucy, crying.  She was lying on the floor next to me wailing, "Princesses never sleep on the floor!"
