My daughter moves a lot when she sleeps. Not the whole night long or anything. It’s just here and there. (Though, I guess “now and then” would have been the appropriate term.) But, when she does move while sleeping, it is quite often a lot of movement in that single instance.
So, that’s a disturbance already.
But that movement often includes a sort of kicking.
Which is more of a disturbance.
And, because we don’t do things half-a-edly in my family, she also likes to fling her head to the side, sometimes back and forth a couple times. And her head is hard. And it is usually quite near my own head. And so, once again, I am wondering if I will have a bruise on my busted lip from my child’s head smashing suddenly into my mouth while she slept and I was enjoying her cuddles before sleeping myself.
Oh, and she is hot, too. Very hot. Lots of sweat happens between the two of us whenever she sleeps against me. Also a sort of disruptive annoyance…
So, basically, having my daughter sleep with me is both wonderful, because she cuddles fabulously, and disruptive-slash-dangerous. So, yeah… that’s cool, I guess…
Haha
