Last Night

Harlow has been sleeping in his big boy bed now for a few weeks & loves it.  He does wake up in the middle of the night and come get into bed with us.  At first he'd cry when we was coming in but now he just comes right in and snuggles up and falls back asleep.  I wish he's stay in his own bed but it really doesn't bother me.  What did bother me was when he'd come into our room at 3am and just start talking to us "Mom, Dad, Motorcycle, car, bla bla bla bla..." Seriously, he;d just go on and on!  "Harlow, we don't talk at 3 in the morning, not at all!" If only you could really say that and have them understand ;)  But he hasn't done that for a while now.  I'll take sleeping in bed with us any night over trying to talk our ears off at that hour, or any hour before 7-8am

Well last night was interesting and bizarre.  I woke up to Harlow screaming...'what on earth is going on', I thought.  So I got up and went into his room.  Listening to him cry I could tell it wasn't coming from his big boy bed, so I thought Nathan had put him down in his crib.  I got closer but couldn't see him in the crib and that's not where the sound was coming from.  I crouched down lower and started calling for him and trying to calm him down.  I realized that he was underneath his crib.  How and why did he get there?!  I had him hand me his sippy cup and then give me his hand.  He was way far back there.  And then trying to get out he got stuck behind the side rail bar you step on to lower the side down.  He was hysterical!  My poor little guy.  I finally got him calmed down and went and put him next to Nathan in our bed and went back into his room this time turning on the light.  His bed was pushed out into the room at a weird angle, the mattress was half off the bed, and the longer bumper was toppled over onto the floor...What was this kid doing last night in his bed?!  All that, then to go climb under the crib and get stuck and freak out...

We laid in bed together and he kept jerking awake and calling for me.  He'd fall back a sleep almost immediately cuddled up right against me.  I wonder if it's bad dreams....
