Sleepless Nights


Our 6 year old daughter has been starting a trend, coming into our room in the middle of the night every night the last few weeks.  It's a pain for my wife who has to wake up, turn a closet light on, adjust a sleeping bag for her.  We've tried different things to get her to stay in her room, like taking away her daily movie if she comes down, putting a switch on her lamp that if she presses a button, it stays on for 1 hour. We thought last night we finally had the right combination to get her to stay up in her room, but at 12:30am, sure enough she comes down saying that she is sick, grabs a bucket and proceeds to throw up.  Consequently, my wife still didn't get a full nights sleep.  On top of that our special needs child was up last night crying and screaming.

Along those lines, we've had a run of sickness in the house.  First our little boy yesterday was throwing up (or "getting sick" as one of my daughter's favorite books described) all over the house.  There was a lot of cleaning to do, now last night our daughter is doing the same.  We only hope that our special needs daughter doesn't get sick!
