For the last couple of months Maddie has been a frequent night time visitor to our bed, not something that I tend to worry about being a deep sleeper but it’s usually not very long before her wriggling and squirming around forces Mette to seek refuge in the guest bedroom!
I have witnessed her arrival on several occasions and it’s strange to watch as she appears to sleep walk her way up the stairs before climbing into our bed. Sometimes if I come to bed late I find her already there next to Mette, other times she doesn’t appear until 5.30 in the morning but 6 days out of 7 I wake to find Mette has transformed into Maddie overnight.
We have considered getting a larger bed as short of locking the bedroom door her night time visits seem unavoidable for now. To be fair there is something quite sweet about it and I’m sure the day will come when she doesn’t want to know us, let alone come and sleep with us, so for now the musical beds routine will carry on!
