So after many years of use, and a few more years of procrastinating, we finally purchased a new queen sized mattress for the bed in Devlin's room. A comfortable, pillow topped mattress guaranteed to induce sweet dreams.
Who's sleeping in the bed?
Not the kids.
Nope.
Recently, the kids have decided to sleep "all together" in Mommy and Daddy's room. They all snuggle up for bedtime stories - first Aisling's pick of the month (because she wants the same book read over and over and over again), then Ceilidh's, and finally Devlin's book. Then the lights are turned off, prayers are recited and eye drift close, quite fast, and within minutes, deep regular breaths can be heard from all three. That's when Mommy and Daddy, the bookends in the king sized bed, sneak out of the room, without waking the slumbering angels, and head to the smaller bed to sleep in peace. That is, if we can wake up after falling asleep with the kids.
We've pondered the option of switching the beds in the rooms. I don't think it'll matter. The monkeys just want to sleep with Mommy and Daddy in Mommy and Daddy's room. Which is fine with us for now. As long as we're getting a few hours of undisturbed sleep, it doesn't matter that Buzz Lightyear staring down at us.
