It is...This is on a less serious note than Elsies. It is funny how we all comment in a fun and joking manner about Toby in the bed. Well, listen to this, last night we were in bed, and I said to Alan "Funny how Kobe slept in a crate, then slept with me on the bed after you left for work, then on the foot of the bed all night, then around our legs at night, and tonight he is inbetween us, using our pillows and under the duvet"<br />How things change eh! We then mentioned, that when we have kids, we need to get a larger bed, and I will cuddle with baby, and he will cuddle with Kobe!!! AND....Lewis sleeps on my pillow, wrapped around my head!<br />What the happened to me? hahahaBond Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06495228760300195812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246814281618693695.post-30151483733798403552010-02-07T02:00:07.616-05:002010-02-07T02:00:07.616-05:00Noodleenee! I love it!
What other people say doesn...Noodleenee! I love it!<br />What other people say doesn't matter. do not listen to a word of it. No matter what you do, people will tell you that you are doing it wrong. The best way to deal will with sleep time, is the way that works for you and gets each family member the best sleep possible. <br />As you know, Ella slept in our bed until she was almost 6 months old, then she slept in her own room until about 6am when I would bring her in with me for the last hour or so. I would have coslept longer if it wasn't for my personal inability to get any sleep with a wigglebean rolling around all night. <br />Only you know whats right for your child and your family. And you are well-read and well researched and knowledgeable when it comes to pregnancy, breastfeeding and raising a baby. So trust that you are making the right decisions for Sloan and all the Murphys. If you need us, you have many friends with slightly older children who can tell you about our experiences. Or the good old internet. <br />Twwly got hers back on all the doubting minds when her cosleeping kids suddenly asked to be moved into their own beds. She had instilled in them a trust and level of comfort that allowed them to feel safe and secure so that when the interest struck them, they were excited to make the move. <br />I used to get told that wanting/letting Ella suck her thumb was TERRRIBLE and that she would be deformed forever etc. But she only did it for a few months, then decided she was done. <br />So, know one knows what is going to happen. I believe that if you want something and work for the change, eventually you will get there. If you decided at 2 that you didn't want Sloan in your bed anymore, then you would make a transition. There is no reason at all why you can't keep her in your bed till you and/or she want to make the move. Some people don't want their kids in their bed anymore, but aren't willing to put the time into the transition work. Then complain that their child won't get out of their bed. Meanwhile, they are the ones who are not willing to do the work for it.<br />So, now that I have rambled on and on.....<br />I will summarize: Do what you and Matt (and Sloan) want to do. Your friends and family will always be there to support you when it is tough and exhausting. Don't let the naysayers taint your wonderful, amazing mothering skills! You are exactly the Mumma that Sloan wants!Elsiehttp://www.themordaunts.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246814281618693695.post-11326431781392982432010-02-06T23:05:20.688-05:002010-02-06T23:05:20.688-05:00Totally cute!!
