The past 2 nights Erin has slept with Makenna in Kenner's queen-size bed with nary a problem. Both girls fell asleep quickly and slept soundly.
Tonight, however, it was Cameron's night to sleep in her bed, and it unfolded like many a sad marriage tale. I'll let you figure out the parallels!
First they fluffed their pillows and situated themselves. They then both agreed that it was hot and they needed the ceiling fan on. A couple minutes later they were cold and they turned it down to low.
Next, Cameron rolled over to her and said, 'Makenna--let's snuggle!' They hugged each other platonically for a couple seconds, then Cameron said, 'Snuggling makes me hot!' and rolled away. Makenna echoed his sentiments.
The honeymoon was definitely over.
Cameron then asked for his boombox to listen to his usual 'Scripture Scouts' CD. After positioning this in the empty crib, they both settled down again.
50 minutes later I went upstairs and found them arguing--Cameron was complaining that she was stealing all the covers and was lunging in for the attack. I pulled him away and at my urging he gladly picked up his pillows and marched into his own room as Makenna cried disconsolately into her pillows.
Cameron was asleep in less than 4 minutes, but Makenna calmed down only after I tickled her back and told her how proud I was of her swimming! As usual, when I tried to give her a goodnight kiss she violently turned her head away and said, 'No kisses tonight!'
