I lied, and its about to blow up in my face.
For the longest time, I have been unable to get Maddie to sleep in her own room. And by longest time, I mean years. I'm tired of being kicked in the head from my sleeping wild child. She sleeps sideways, I sleep longways, as most people do. Stuffed animals litter my bed.
So...I told her that I got a letter from her school, which she is very excited to start, that said they were excited to welcome her to school, but wanted to remind everybody that this is a school for big girls and kids who don't sleep in their own room wont be able to attend. At first she didn't believe me so I showed her a letter (she can't read) and she's been in her bed ever since.
The other morning when I went to wake her, she was sleeping at the end of her bed with no blankets and I asked what happened...she said she was hot during the night. Her room has no fan so I asked why she didn't come in by me. "Because I want to go to school"...yes, I feel like a jerk.
Maddie is so proud of herself and so am I.
Tonight we have open house at her new school and she cant wait to tell them....the jig is up!

Oh, but that is a good lie. God will forgive you for that one.
She NEEDs to be in her bed, for your sake as well.
I hope she enjoys school, can't wait to hear how it goes.
That is such a cute story...did she tell her teachers? Sometimes we do what we have to to get kids to do what we want! :)
