Midnight Wanderings

I meant to post this yesterday but time slipped away from me. But after three successful nights of staying in her bed, Nevaeh was back to her 4-month habit of wandering in the night. During one such trip the other night, I told her to go back to her room and dragged myself out of bed to follow her back down the hall. Since I am now able to walk through the house with my eyes closed, I didn’t bother opening them as I started the trek. Nevaeh must not have opened hers either because pretty soon, I heard a thumping crash along with the sound of shoes from our “shoe hallway” being scattered about. And then…in the darkness… I heard a timid voice say, “I’m ok, Mama.”

Then last night, as we were preparing for our overnight guests who are arriving today, we had a conversation that went something like this:

Me: Guess who’s coming to visit us tomorrow?!
Nevaeh: Um…..Gramma & Grampa?!
Me: Yes! And Barb & Diane!
Nevaeh: Ooooohhhhhh….Are they comin’ to see my new shoes?
