I admit that I was so reluctant to get a big girl bed for my oldest that I borrowed a crib and used two for a year. That's pretty bad. Love this post. :) Such a sweet post.

He appears in the doorway, tossled hair, eyes wild, seeking safety, comfort, sleep. He is,The Hair, My eldest who at nearly 14 still knows that the safest place to be in the dark when you're scared is with your Mom -- even if you won't fit in the bed anymore.

My middle son actually asked me to massage his sore legs after his track meet and that's about as close to the full body hug as I'm going to get these days. When your kids are bigger than you, it gets harder to find ways to cuddle them without grossing them out. *sigh*

This time, out of her big girl bed and into yours. It's less work on your part. I can so relate to this. It’s okay, she’ll still come to you. This time, out of her big girl bed and into yours.

Flynn's been in her twin bed since she was 20 months old and she still comes to get me on occasion. We usually sleep in the guest room - the bed's bigger than hers (and we don't have to share it with a zillion stuffed animals). Evan's been in his twin bed since he was about 18 months old and is in our bed just about every night. We don't mind. I figure this parenting gig is not a sprint, it's a marathon and I doubt they'll be hopping into bed with us when they're teenagers (at least I hope not).
