co sleeping



 When Daddy is gone, my kids sleep with me, this is the best case scenario. (I'm not as good an artist as Lola but you get the point.)
So this was last night. Not bad. Not bad at all.







This is a worst case scenario. My youngest spooning me off the bed, groping my breasts and drooling on my arms.  In the words of another very funny woman I know,  Annie: "Clearly there is some sort of magnetic or gravitational force that attracts a sleeping child to its parent when they are sharing the same bed, until the parent is perched precariously on the edge of the mattress while a vast expanse of unused sleeping space exists, wasted, on the other side of the child. This force increases exponentially with each additional child in the bed."


I couldn't' have explained it better myself.  Even after 2 glasses of wine.

They sleep in their own beds tonight because I'm not taking any chances with a worst case scenario.

  3. Our little boy sleeps with us often because we are too tired and not night people and stink at getting him back to sleep..he ends up burrowing his head in my side and kicking his dad in the face...not fun at all.

  4. Those pictures are absolutely awesome. My boy sleeps with me every night (for various reasons) and it's amazing how someone so small (he's 4) can take up SO MUCH OF THE BED. And still kick me in the back, repeatedly.
