No Rest For Mommy

I was sad to see Rich go, but was excited for the week of fun ahead. Unfortunately, I didn't have the restful week I was hoping for. Once Rich was gone Ava didn't sleep in her bed. I thought that after the first night she would be okay and go back to her bed, but I was wrong. Ava became clingy the week Rich was gone and ended up sleeping in my bed every night. I wouldn't have minded if she didn't kick my back and snore. Ava is not a very peaceful sleeper and I'm a light sleeper, so it was not a good combination for me. After the first night of being kicked I rolled a blanket up and placed it in between us, so I could have some protection. It helped some, but I came home exhausted and excited to see my own bed.


The first night Rich was gone Ava came to my bed with one of her friends. She then told me to wait while she made 3 more trips back to her bed to bring the rest of her friends and blanket.
