[...] run to ours. This is all new and befuddling to us. I mean, 4 or 5 months since we finally got Joshua to stay in his own bed, and now we’ve got to get Sophie back to sleeping soundly in hers. For the past several [...]

this post made me tear up – i thought i was the only one who loved doing this AND thinks it’s okay!! Ethan loves to cuddle (and does exactly like Joshua – waits until I’m too tired to protest any longer!!!) I will also be sad when he doesn’t want to anymore. i love cuddle time with the kids!!!!!

And that is exactly why we still co-sleep. I will take all the snuggles and kisses I can get. Because trust me, a mom of a teenager, they won’t want to give them to you one day. And you’ll wish you hadn’t sent them scurrying back to their own beds when all they wanted was to fall asleep in your arms….There’s nothing better!

While I totally agree with the sentiment, I prefer my kids love me in 1,000,000,000 other ways than in my bed. And I have a king. They come in and snuggle most mornings, but that is after I wake up. I am super stingy and selfish with my bed space. In fact, I might even appreciate the days when husband and wives slept in separate beds

That all being said, aren’t you excited to snuggle with me and my gigantic preggo belly at BlogHer? I might be worse than Joshua with the bed hogging.

Ellie falls asleep in my bed every night, and remains there for at least part of the night. She can’t yet get out of her bed and hop into mine uninvited, but I’m looking forward to that day. Of course, that’s easy for me to say — I have a queen-size bed, and I’m not trying to share it with a husband.

I sometimes forget that they don’t love you like this forever. Thanks for the reminder

You are right to enjoy it while you can! I missed it when my oldest stopped wanting to hop into bed. My youngest is still too young to get out of his crib. I hope when he does, I will be like you and appreciate it for the short time it happens.

I have a daybed. A twin size of coarse. My 5 and 6 year olds get in bed with me. Every. Freakin’. Night. I wake up every morning; my body stiff and sore. I also wake up every morning with 2 sweet sleeping babies in my arms. To be honest, I don’t know if I could even sleep with out them!

It’s so great that you are enjoying this time with your kiddos. I felt a little sad as my youngest graduated from Kindergarten a few weeks ago. However, that love and that bond enriches as they grow and there are positives just as you describe to every stage.
