Any story that can be illustrated with stick figures is a WINNER.

Love it! I swear I wrote this exact post (stick figures included, pregnant belly excluded) 3 years ago on my now defunct blog.

Oh man, this is so my life right now. And we aren’t even co-sleeping, we just have a toddler who gets out of her big-girl bed nightly and joins us in our bed. Argh. I miss sleeping peacefully.

For the people that this works for more power to you! My oldest slept in my bed from about 15 months – 3 years old not by choice but out of desperation. I moved him to a big boy bed way too early due to a move and his height. He would NEVER sleep in his toddler bed! I am all for your infant being in your room in a bassinet but establishing good sleep habits is good for mom and baby alike!

I’ve always been amazed at how one little person can take up an entire king-size bed and get two adults to sleep on the edges. Hence, no more sleeping with Mommy and Daddy in my house.

This is so, so true. The other night I went and slept in her bed so that I could be away from the nightmares, tosssing, turning and snoring. The hubs and the kid are just too much to handle together.

This could also be me…except stretch out that wee little person to an adult and call it my husband…and we have a King size bed…

HILARIOUS illustrations by the way.

OMG – You must have a stick-figure camera in my bedroom!

This is a great post, my son has slept in my bed since he was about a year old. He is a sweaty little thing but I miss him when I’m traveling. I tried to ‘ferberize’ and all that mess. I just took the path of least resistance and I have to work so it gives us more snuggle time.

Wonder when he’ll ask to move to his own room? Or, if I’ll end up goin to college with him!

I have been co-sleeping with at least one child for, oh, let’s see, every night for the last 8 years, 3 months, 3 weeks, and 2 days. This is so true, it kinda makes me throw up in my mouth a little bit.

That is so so true. Each one of my kids have a different sleep condition that causes mommy to get none at all. One talks, one moves, and one like to throw her arm across your face. And of course like your picture you get kicked. Not to mention my pillow stealing husband. I’m not sure how I get any sleep.
