For the last two weekends we have had out of town guests staying with us. The first was a family of four and the last was three adults. To accommodate everyone in our three bedroom home, we decided to sleep with Ellie in her room.
And I loved it.
I loved sneaking in and watching her snooze all snuggled up on her purple unicorn pillow pet holding on to her favorite pink poodle lovies and stuffed giraffe that she bought with her own money. Then peeling back the blankets and snuggling up together listening to her cute little four year old sleep sounds.
A family bed never before had an ounce of appeal until now. It's a shame that Ryan would never go for it. While Ellie and I are in our snuggle euphoria on the other side of the bed she is scratching Ryan's legs with her painted toe nails, flipping her long curls into his face and accidentally whacking him upside the head when she rolls over.
Hmmm...maybe we just need a king?
So sweet!

Haha! I totally know what you mean! It is so sweet to snuggle up to a sleeping child. And then I love how when they first wake up they're all cuddly and affectionate.
ReplyDeleteThen they have their cereal and revert back to toddlerdom. haha.
i LOOOOOOVE snuggling up on my kiddos to sleep. when we went on vacation, we all stayed in one room and every night, one or another of the kids would climb up into bed with me. i didn't sleep too great because they are wiggly....but i rested HAPPY ;)
ReplyDeleteWe would always get two double beds when you girls were small. Sharing with you was always a snuggle-fest. Lauren would twist my hair and toss and turn all night long. Do you remember a time when we all four slept in a queen on stormy nights or when you pulled your sleeping bags in to sleep on our bedroom floor?
ReplyDeleteI miss those times.
