the family bed

Ella has been sneaking into our bed at night a lot lately. She has figured out that if she climbs in and snuggles up next to Daddy, he's too incoherent to do anything about it whereas Mommy will escort her back to her own room. A good part of the week, we wake up with a third party snuggled up in our covers! Last week I talked to Ella about this:

Me: Ella, you're going to have to stop sleeping with Mommy and Daddy.
Ella: Mmmm...maybe someday.

While eating our lunch today, we talked about it again since she had pulled her sneakery again last night. Bryan was telling me he is confused on how she is able to make room since he somehow woke up in the middle of the bed as though she had made him move over. She was eavesdropping on this conversation and piped in: "I found room right next to you Daddy, and then when you got up, I found LOTS of room!" What a silly goose she is. She's a nice cuddler too, even though she should stay in her own cozy bed!

Very sweet. Not that I'd want it every night, but I'm looking forward to the day that Allison comes and curls up with us.

I love this story because it reminds me of when I was a little girl. I would walk down the very dark hallway which seemed to be at least a mile! then focus really hard to see if I could figure out who was on what side (not sure if my parents flip-flopped or what). If it was my Mom, I was a sure in but Dad, forget it!

P.S. E slept with me last night :) it's that darn tooth!
