Good Morning!!

Hope everyone is having a great day...

SO....Ellie has taken on a new habit that past few days, of Wandering out of bed (she sleeps in our bed) around the side of the bed her crate is on, she will sniff about, and lick her feet, and go in her crate, lay for a few minutes, then will decide she wants back in bed,and she goes back to sleep, this all has been happening about (2-3 AM) about 1-2 hours before the alarm goes off...this makes for a TIRED MOMMY!!:babysleep:

Is this something normal, a phase that she will grow out of, why might this have started?!?! - Just curious if anyone else's baby does this..

This is the reason we made a fence in a cosy place for our boy, around 3 sq.meters, where he sleeps. Dogs usually change sleeping place during night, they want warm bed, then they feel like cool floor in the bathroom, after that it never hurts to check - may be mom is awake and can already start performing her most important duty- preparing breakfast for her fur Baby? The way they do it - putting wet snout in your face - doesn't help good morning sleep:D

Patrick does the same thing...changes positions about 4-5 times a night. He wants to be between my legs above covers...then under covers...then above covers near my head...etc.

I don't get enough sleep but I can't kick him out of bed.

What temp do you keep the house on?

We keep it about 60°F, and has been that way the WHOLE winter, and She sleeps ABOVE the covers, she starts between our pillows, then stretches as long as she can get, and shoves herself against me or hubby....now she is waking and wandering and last night when she got back in bed, felt the need to make sure mommy was really sleeping - HAHAHAHHA!!

That is a good temp. I have found that when Tyson gets too hot at night, he started to become restless. So we ended up buying him his own fan that points directly at him. Since then, not a peep. LOL

Guess we will have to put the ceiling fan back on tonight, Mama was not ready for that, but if it keeps the Midnight Party Princess Sleeping, Mama's IN!!

Thankfully I have a HEAVY down blanket and comforter on the bed to keep me warm

P.S. Ellie sleeps on top of ALL the Blankets...

No luck again tonight, mommy had to get up to go potty in the night and it woke Ellie, who started to sniff and do her thing, jumped on and off the bed mulitple times, and when I turned the light on to see what was going on, found out tonight she peed on the floor!!:hissy: we have NEVER had an overnight accident like that...:*(:*(

Castor (2013-2021 RIP)
Castor wakes up at night too. He starts out in his own bed in my son's room, then he comes into our bedroom to let me know he wants to get up onto my son's bed (but is too lazy or to polite to jump up himself). So I lift him up and he goes back to sleep immediately. Then after a few hours, he's back by my bedside again, waiting to test our bed or to be led back to my son's room. As long as he sleeps at the footend of our beds I think it's ok and as long as most of us sleep as much as possible, I'm ok with the night wandering. Who knows, perhaps the little guy has had a nightmare and needs some comfort?
