Boundaries

by ElsieBJan 8, 2006
A layout for my girl.

Journaling:
Confession
I like to let you crawl into bed with me. You are warm and cuddly and you smell so sweet. You always bring Woofie with you. You and I both think he smells wonderful. I love the little sounds you make as you suck your thumb and nuzzle Woofie's ear. Sometimes you throw an arm around my neck and hug me. You don't kick like your brother does. You snuggle without hogging extra space. Yes, I love to sleep with you. As a result I still let you crawl into bed with us in the mornings…most mornings. Your Papi thinks it's time for us to start putting up some boundaries in this area. Your brother would never dream of coming into our bedroom in the morning or waking us up. He stays in his room and stays quiet (well, relatively) until we go to see him. But you walk into our room as if it were your own, come straight to my side of the bed and ask to crawl in with me. Maybe it's time to start saying no. You have your own bed and your own bedroom. But I just wanted to let you know before I start putting up those boundaries that I sure love to sleep with you.

I love this! Could do a similar one for my son - who doesn't come to our bed anymore but at bedtime I sometimes fall asleep in his bed after bedtime stories.

This is moving...I'm glad I'm not the only one who truly loves my kids sleeping with me. (unless they're both in there...then mom gets about 5 inches of space to sleep in, lol) What a great idea for a page...never thought about this before,
