At that time (long ago) we had a waterbed that became a trampoline of sorts when he got in with us and proceeded to toss and turn and toss and turn..... so that none of us got any sleep. Well we laid down the law and a small mattress on the floor right beside the bed. he was welcome to sleep right beside us and hold my hand and have his back patted but not permitted to get in our bed and ruin everyones sleep. It seemed to be a phase he was going through where he needed extra reassurance that we were still there to love and comfort him even during the night, it lasted about 5 months before he stayed in his own bed again most nights.<br /> I agree with Robins comment about having a toddler bed right up close to your bed or take one side off the crib and pull it right against the side of your bed, it might help with the transition of Hannah eventually sleeping on her own while still being close.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09804522074384492754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14848310.post-56673053404844297432011-04-20T14:01:02.335-04:002011-04-20T14:01:02.335-04:00Look how much she has grown!

Since I've embraced our own situation (it took me a long time to admit that Pea needed a closer sleeping arrangement) I have come to love having him right beside me through the night. <br />Here's to continued success with the no chit chat rule!! You know, except when cuteness overrules it. :)Two Kayakshttp://secretkayaks.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14848310.post-55631831764876973322011-04-18T18:01:47.264-04:002011-04-18T18:01:47.264-04:00She is SO beautiful!!!

One thing that helped her settle down is I tell her she has to let her body rest. Once she hears that from me she says "ok" and settles right down. <br /><br />Hugs,<br />Carlabbmomof2boyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04083310095847466910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14848310.post-11092230939122505952011-04-17T20:58:47.923-04:002011-04-17T20:58:47.923-04:00Those pictures are so precious.
