The family bed

I love a lot of the attachment parenting ideals.  And I love waking up to snugly babies in my bed.  They always push Sean and I to his side, but it's nice snuggling with him as well.  :)  Cassidy says that our bed is the warmest bed in the world, and Nicole says it's the most comfortable.  In the mornings Sadie will hug me and say, "I lub you, Mom!"  At one time I had thought that we would keep our bedroom "our space"....but that is just not possible.  The bedroom is a wonderful family space.  Growing up, all of my siblings and myself would crawl onto mom and dad's bed and we'd talk and laugh and visit, and take naps.  We still do that sometimes.  We go to mom and Dad's and kick dad out and visit with mom.  :)  At our home, we read books and sometimes bring the laptop up and watch movies snuggled under the covers.  We pray and read scriptures around this bed.  Sometimes we jump on it, although that is discouraged.  Even though we'll miss this bedroom, we're taking the bed, and we're hoping that all-things-fun-and-good continue with us in our new master bedroom.
