Cuddle Bugs



My babies love to "camp out"! To them, camping out is throwing blankets on the floor in the front room, or downstairs and just sleeping with someone. They are social sleepers. We have tried to separate them into their own beds. We have decorated each one of their rooms so cute! And yet they still want to sleep together. I have decided that it really isn't worth the stress to try to make them sleep alone. Won't they be sleeping with their spouses for most of their lives? They have just been prepared early! This is a picture of them this morning. They "camped out" on the sofa. They have so many blankets and stuffed animals. My little cuties! They try to get Skyler to camp out with them and he is into the idea at first. Than I turn off the lights and he realizes that he is shoved between two people and he's done. He is not a co-sleeper. He loves to sleep in his very own bed! (a later post will show his new birthday bed!) We do try to make camp out days only on the weekends, mainly Friday and Saturday night. That way it is more exciting for them. They look forward to it each week!

that's so funny. my kids love doing that too. i loved what you said about them sleeping with their spouse some day & this way they will be prepared, I think that's so true. It was hard for me at first getting used to sharing a bed. plus, like you said there is enough stress to fight them on that, too. besides they are bonding too & we hope as parents they grow up being close. so cute.

That is really cute. My littles like to co-sleep as well. They out-grow it (Marissa can't stand to have anyone in bed with her anymore) plenty fast, I think. :) My kids ask to have a sleep over (rather than camp out). hahaha. I think it's cute and funny.
