Truth be Told: Bed
I've decided to start Truth Be Told, which is basically a short post on the craptastic or not-so-cool or oops or promised I'd never do or failed events that I have in life, most of them related to parenting. They can be posted anytime, any day, and I'll be sure to keep a composed list on the top tabs of my blog. I contemplated joining in on Not Me Monday, but I like the randomness of this. I'm sure there will be a lot of these!
Truth be told....
We contemplated going to be last night, a Friday night, at 7pm. We made it to 10pm. We are now the old couple with a kid, in bed at 10pm on a Friday night. Not-so-cool. Promised I wouldn't do.
Feel free to share or blog about your Truth Be Told moment.... :-)

10 o'clock is LATE!! :o) just wait 'til you have 2 kids... the minute they are both asleep, my head hits the pillow! (and sometimes that is 8pm!) :o)
It isn't late when your children wake up at 5AM.
I have a funny story. When we lived it the beautiful town of Starbuck MN. There was one night that in the middle of the night I was awoken by knocking at the door, after trying to unsucessfully wake my husband, I went down in my pj's to answer the door. It was the police telling me someone had ran into my van. I had to go outside, get my insurance and say oh its ok that once again somone has run into our van(it was the third time that this had happened) All the while trying to wake up and be normal, and wondering why there were people around in the middle of the night. When it all got taken care of, I got back into the house and I looked at the clock, and I can not express the surprise I got when I saw it said it was only 10:45pm. In my defense I had just had my second baby, and my husband never woke up at all, the next morning I told him about it and he had no idea anything had happened.:)
And I think saying you won't do anything once you have kids and then doing them after you have kids is ok...as long as there aren't things like, well you know...because I think many people forget that kids are people too, you change many things when you get married to someone, because the person you married does things different then you did. Your children are people too and they are going to do things different then you do them. I know you know this, but it is good to think about. Raising children is like that footprints poem about God, you mostly walk beside them nudging them in the right direction, every once in awhile you pick them up, but mostly you just walk beside them, and let them be who they are going to be.
And it is 6:30 in the morning and I have nothing really else to do, because everyone but the littlest one is up, so you are going to get a one more post.
To answer the real question...I sleep with my kids. I never thought I would do that, Oliver came and wouldn't be happy unless I was holding him and I was exhausted so I brought him into bed, and I became a cosleeping parent, which then made me be a baby wearing parent, which then made me be a better parent. I believe fully that my breastfeeding, baby wearing, cosleeping ways with Oliver has made him be the cuddliest autistic kid around, and there are times now where I wish I could wear him or nurse him and make all things better...
And for all of you who wonder...by 2 they pretty much sleep in their own beds for most of the night, but 3 they are there all night except for those nights they have bad dreams, and by 6 you sometimes wish you could bring them into bed with you once again.(and it really isn't that long looking back. and there is nothing better then cuddling with your baby all night)
