Sleepin' in

I've started the bad habit of bringing Ben into bed when he wakes up around 5:30 a.m. I started doing this to have more time with him and get some sleep. The past three days, we've both slept in until 8:30 a.m. It's been nice but is making me realize why he's so crabby on the days I go to work. The little guy wants to sleep near momma.

It's not bad if it works for you! Stop reading books and just do what feels right!

Don't worry aboout what everyone says is or isn't right with regards to sleeping arrangements. Trust your instincts...you can't go wrong there. You're absolutely right that babies want to be with their Mommas! I personally believe in the "family bed." Both of my kids have slept in bed with me since day one and we all get a good nights sleep...most of the time that is! :) While I'm still transitioning them into their own beds (at 5 & 2 yrs old) I feel very happy with the way it has all worked out! I say that if it works for you guys, go for it, as this precious time when they are so little will just fly by. Before you know it, Benjamin will be running off to kindergarten, so soak him up. :)
