The past few days and nights the boys have been extra huggy and lovey and buggy and such. Both boys love hugs and kisses but lately it seems as if they have needed a few extra (NOT that I am complaining!)...So the last few nights before bed after a whole day of extra hugs and kisses, Cole asks to sleep in my bed!
Now a little back story. Many may think I'm waaay crunchy and by some standards I might be, but I have never felt that I was total crunch, if you kwim ;)... And I definitely was never one for "co-sleeping" or "the family bed" when my boys were babies BUT on occasion I would sleep with them in their bed or they could come curl up in mine in the middle of the night:) But my boys never seemed to NEED me to sleep. Now some may argue that being twins and almost always sleeping together in the same crib and bed that they have never really slept alone so in fact maybe do NEED someone to sleep with..... AND yes in the SAME crib till they were over 3 at which point I TRIED to have them sleep in separate beds but they would end up on the floor sleeping together like this... (don't judge!) One of my FAV pics of them :D
And now of course at 8 years old, sleep in 2 twin day beds squished together like ONE BIG crib!!
So anyway the last few nights Cole and Drew climb into their bed to have a "story" and after, Drew curls up under his blanket and goes to sleep, while Cole jumps out of his bed and goes into mine....
Bringing most of his stuffed animals and pillow pets... It's cool though. I don't mind, but I wonder what brought this on and how many more nights it's going to go on ;) It's all good. They don't stay little forever, right??.... Now I wonder how long before Drew gets the bright idea and I end up with BOTH boys in my bed...Oh well winter is coming and we ALL know how damn cold I keep the house!! Looks like I'll be welcoming the "Abney Family Bed" ;)... for now.... I may be a tad more crunchy than I think...
Happy Friday all... Extra love, hugs and kisses from the Abney house!
And where will all the doggies sleep???
