Need to be Naked

I don't know what it is about clothing that our daughters are so opposed to that no matter how light weight it is, they must strip it off prior to falling completely asleep. Tonight I came home from a meeting and Ellie had crawled out of the bedroom in just her panties and was laying on one of our kitchen rugs with her blanket all wrapped around her. I lifted her up to carry her to her bed, following Robb into their room where he cleaned the animals out of the way and went to tuck in Olyvia who was also only in her panties. Their nightgowns were thrown to the side along with the covers.

Now the nightgowns they were wearing were not flanel long sleeve numbers. They were tank sleve cotton light weight little things, yet still they somehow manage to get too hot in them that they must fling them off their bodies when they are somewhere between wake and sleep.

I have often muddled over this fact and always wrote it off that they took after Robb. He too despises covers. Not only that but loves to have the window open and the cool air circulating keeping the room nice and crisp. He likes it when the room is so cold that your breath feezes, your eyelashes stick together and you skin has a pale blue tent to it. Our girls too seem to sleep too hot and this is always expressed at bedtime when they strip down to their panties no matter what the temperature or what they are wearing.

Another hypothesis that I have about this is that while they are laying in bed, not really wanting to be there to begin with, trying to think up yet another reason for us to come in there or for them to come out here they realize that they are just too hot. Kind of like realizing that they need a drink of water. I wonder if they are actually hot at all?
