Night Terrors aka Sleeping with a Six Year Old

Ok so here is a picture of me and my niece.



I love this kid to pieces and for some odd reason she is crazy about me. From here on out I will lovingly refer to her as Little Sassy, Sassafras or maybe just Sassy. Now don’t get me wrong, I LOVE this kid, but she is a terror to sleep with! Whenever she visits my house, or I visit her house or we go on family vacation, we end up in the same bed. I am not at all complaining, it just works better this way, but I have never slept with anyone that is so rolly polly. I often get a hand or foot in the face, feet under my side, or quite often a head on my ribs. So this last week, I decided to document Little Sassy every night before I slipped into bed with my full football gear on.



Just to let you know, her pillow is the polka dot one . . . and that is also her side of the bed . . . hum





How can six year old Sassafras need more bed space then me?







And you know what’s funny? By the end of the week I would wake up and wonder why she was not next to me . . . and when she went home, the bed felt very empty. Can’t wait for your next visit Little Sassy!
