Lanie Not Sleeping

I found Lanie sitting straight up in bed last night when I went to the bathroom at 2:00 am, looking around, dazed.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"I am seeing that my blankets are very messy," she answered.
"It's time to sleep," I said.
"So, it's too messy around here," she told me.
"Good night Lanie," I told her.
"I think your room is not messy in your bed," she said.
"Yes, my room is messy. My bed is very messy."
"I'll just check," she told me.
Lanie 1 point, me 0.
Can't argue at 2:00am.

Sleeping Arrangements VI

Yet again, this is various days over a week. Because sleeping in a bed makes no sense.

To Sleep or Not to Sleep- Sleeping Arrangements V

I went up to bed early last night and found Lanie was not in her bed.  I looked in my bed and Sam's bed and she wasn't in either.  Just as I was about to panic I found her in a ball in her rocking chair (where she had told me she had tried "to nap the other day, but didn't fit").
So I put her in her bed and tucked her in.

Sleeping on the rocking chair.

At 3:30 am I woke up because I heard something scampering (mice!) and went to the bathroom.  I walked by Lanie's room and she was clearly not in her bed.  I checked the rocking chair and Sam's bed, my bed and then went downstairs.  This time she was curled up on the couch with Jack.  I went to tuck her in and she popped up and said, "oh hi mom!"
The kid needs a microchip.

Sleeping Arrangements Part IV

Last night I went up to bed at 9:30.

Apparently we're confused about where we sleep these days.  The silent, little figure in my bed.
"Lanie, you scared me! What are you doing?"
"I find you mama."

Sleeping Arrangements, Part III

My child who every few weeks has a sleepless night and wanders around.  Sometimes I find her sitting in her rocking chair rocking back and forth in the dark, which is a little disconcerting.  Other times she will wander, downstairs to see what Chris is doing and hang out with him, I'll find her in bed with one of the other children, or she'll climb in bed with me and stroke my hair.

Sam is sound asleep.

Other times, on different days, I'll find her "resting" in various places around the house. 

"Mama, I nap here in Jack's bed?"

Jack discovers her in his bed.

Sleeping Arrangements Part II

This is how the night typically begins.

We can't quite seem to get it right around here.  My father took the crib down for us and we put Sam back in his toddler bed as he and Vivian were trying to sleep on one toddler mattress and would squish each other.  She would wake up crying and end up in our bed.  Now, Vivian is on the floor on a mattress and Sam is in his bed.  Until he falls out and lands on top of her, night after night.  And she rightfully wakes up and yells for me or Chris, and "no Sammy! Owie!!!" as he continues to sleep through it all.  He doesn't even seem to wonder how he goes to sleep in his bed and wakes ip on the floor each night.  She ends up in our bed.  The one night he didn't fall out of his bed, they both slept until 5:30   am in the nursery, possibly a first.

This is what I found last night.  Vivian is regarding Sam while crying.
His head is where she had been laying, his butt on her pillow and his feet
are still on his bed.
