Speaking of sleep

Scout and I have always said that we would not allow kids to sleep in our bed. At least not forever, the first few months are fine...but after that kids should be in the kids' beds and adults should be in the adult bed.....be careful what you say before you have kids.

Well, the Bean is almost 3 months, and she is sleeping in our bed. She sleeps on a changing pad in the middle of the bed. That way, she can't roll out, and we can't roll on her.

Mo always goes to bed in her own bed. In fact, we read a book downstairs, give hugs and kisses, and she goes up to her bed on her own and sleeps. But every night, sometime in the middle of the night, she finds her way into our bed. Most nights, I sleep right through it.....I wake up in the morning to her there. This was fine before the baby came, but now.....it makes for one crowded bed. Here is the bird's eye view!

At one point, I asked Scout if there is a bed that is bigger than a king. Which is what we have now. It is so crowded. Scout and I have just the slivers on the side of the bed.....and the kids are sprawled out....getting great sleep, while we toss and turn, and try to keep our covers!

We are starting to transition the Bean into the crib....and once she is in the crib at night, we are going to just make a sweeping declaration of no kids in our bed. I think the Bean will be fine (what does she know anyway).....Mo, on the other hand......should be interesting!
