Why is it that children like sleeping with their parents? I don’t remember ever sleeping with a parent (but hey, that could be due to severe failed memory loss). I certainly don’t wish to sleep with my parents now. *cringe*

It really is a dependency, isn’t it? I suppose it is much nicer sleeping with someone than alone. I don’t know. Maybe. Maybe not.

Actually, you know what? I secretly wish that I don’t sleep with anyone. Ssshhhh…….that’s how much I miss my bed space.

At three years old, Tee was sleeping on our bed since birth. This was the situation when she was two years old. Now at four, she is STILL on our bed. Wow! I’ve journalled her sleep habits all these years! *pat my own back*

The bed situation has somewhat changed since the past. If you’re interested in our bed demographics, we now have 2 toddler pillows, 2 toddler bolsters, 2 orthopaedic pillows, 4 normal pillows, THREE large bolsters, 2 adult duvets, 1 toddler duvet, 2 toddler blankets (and I’ll tell you why we need so many) and a mat on the floor; where Daddy sleeps. Oh, I’d almost forgotten that I’d even thought of having my own sleeping mat! Unfortunately, our bedroom floor space does not allow this or I’d have been rolling in delirious comfort long ago.

Tee doesn’t wear pyjamas to sleep. She wears a sexy negligee. She complaints that it is too hot. So once she is asleep every night, we put a blanket over her. Some time in the middle of the night, that blanket invariably gets kicked off and tangled somewhere between her legs, like a braid. Thus comes blanket number 2.

Just before dawn, that too gets kicked off but slept on or wrapped around with like a burrito, of course at all the wrong places, because she has by now turned her body to each side about 200 times. Thus comes blanket number 3.

Trust me, we’ve got it down to Rocket Science. THREE blankets work for us.

So, let me advise you, you new pregnant ladies. This…….

……is bad news if you ever want to get ANY sleep before your child finds a boyfriend or girlfriend to sleep with. This is how I slept with Tee as a baby.

And this is how we STILL sleep.

This is how close Tee has to be with me before she can sleep. I am her sleeping drug.

Great! Tee already has an addiction at 4.

My only saving grace is that Dr Sears says it’s OKAY!
