Holy Night Terrors

We moved Princess M to a big girl bed several months ago. She does pretty good with it. She will go to sleep in it, but most nights, we end up with a visitor in our bed. If we try and put her back in her bed, she just screams and kicks the door which we are afraid will result in waking the Z man up and I would rather not deal with that. So, she comes to our bed and sleeps between us. Most nights she is pretty good, but there are some nights where I really just want to kick her out of my bed.

Normally, she picks either The Teacher or myself to cuddle with. Most nights its me, but sometimes Daddy wins. I love those nights as I am not subjected to sleeping on a sliver of bed. If she sleeps on my side, she just keeps pushing and pushing until I have no bed yet. She has pushed The teacher to sleep at the foot of the bed a couple of times as well. In case, you couldn't figure it out, she is a restless sleeper and never stays in one spot.

Last night though, she was having some crazy night terrors. The Teacher and I were getting kicks and punches thrown at us. It was horrible. We both cried to calm her down but it didn't help. I have no idea what she was dreaming about, but I probably have bruises on my back from her. I feel bad because whatever she was dreaming about was scaring her. She was yelling, "No" a lot. Maybe she was dreaming about fighting with her brother. Finally though we were able to calm her down enough and she fell back into a deep sleep.

Z man never really had night terrors but Princess M has gotten them several times. I just wish that she were able to tell us what she was dreaming about.
