perhaps a little odd

I was just snuggling with parker and reading him some books (again). This boy, he loves them books. Sometimes, when i see him come walking around the corner with his seventeenth stack of books in an hour, i run and hide. Please don't ever let him have difficulty with reading or writing because i will surely look back on those moments and feel really bad.

Anyway, I said to him; "i really love you parker, do you love me?"

"I love you and dedmumblemumblemumble." He says.

"You love me and dad?"

"I love you and dedmumblemumblemumble." He says.

"You love me when i'm dead?" Worried.

"I love you in bed!" He says frustrated.

"You love me in bed?!"

"Yes, it is so good."

Perhaps the family bed was not the best option.

Ah, sometimes I wish we had used the family bed. I love love love cuddling with Franklin in the cold mornings.

Of course, the grass, it is always greener over yonder...

I miss the family bed, too, I always plan to take her into bed with me on the weekends for a treat (for me just as much if not more than it is for her) but I'm afraid she'll refuse to sleep on her own later and since our bed is, like, 20 feet off the floor, I don't want her sleeping in it alone and as tired as I tend to let myself get, I'm not going to bed (and staying in it) at 7 pm.

I agree with shalebug. Enjoy it. It won't be long before you won't really be able to remember the feeling of spooning with that little body -- even though right now you probably wish everybody would just quit touching you...

ack! family bed/no family bed, co-sleeping, no co-sleeping...
we all have these moments.
I say, go with your gut and stick with your convictions.
Deal with the consequences, reap the rewards.

amn't I philosophical today?
