Somebody's been sleeping in my bed...

Henry has been teething, and he's often up at night lately. So he usually ends up in our bed as an attempt on my part to survive. 

But Grace has been really freaked out at night the last month or two, and she almost always ends up in our bed as well...which gets really squishy. I tried to make a bed for her on the floor by our bed, but that doesn't cut it anymore. 

And Amelia has just decided that Lamanites are trying to get her (with a miniaturizer, of course) when she sleeps, so she has been waking up as well. 

This ends up in a game of ring around the beds EVERY night, and quite honestly I am all worn out, and I want out of this game. I have never drugged my kids with melatonin or Benadryl to get them to sleep, but last night around 3:30am, I was considering it. 

Since Henry has become a part of our family, I can count on one hand the number of times I have had three consecutive hours of sleep. 

When Henry isn't teething or sick, he sleeps great. But his sisters are up all the time freaked out that something is going to get them. (By the way, they barely watch tv let alone anything remotely scary so it's not like we are setting ourselves up for failure. They just have active imaginations). 

I got pictures of Christ to put in their rooms so when they are scared they can look at it. Didn't help. They are too out of it at night to think rationally.

We got them stuffed animals and night lights to help them not be afraid. Doesn't work.

We've tried all kinds of rationalization. Nothing. 

We tried leaving the lamp on. They woke up even more.

I think our only option left is either Justin or I sleeping in their room every night.

Oh man. I need a nap.
