Family bed

I have never been a proponent of a family bed, at least not in my family. I could never get any sleep with a baby or toddler in my queen size bed. Now although after 17 years of marriage we finally have a king size bed, everyone’s trained not to come in, and they’re too old to want to, mostly.

It’s funny, but when I titled this post, I was going to call it “co-sleeping.” But then I found I had already written a post called “co-sleeping“! That one’s about my boys sleeping together. Often.

Last night, I scared Bulldog when he scared me by appearing at my bedside at 1:30 a.m. for no reason other than he woke up. So, figuring we have this big king bed now, I let him in. I enjoyed the snuggle, at first. Who knew a 7 1/2 year old could take up 2/3 of a king size bed? I shoulda! He slept great, at least.
