		<description>&lt;strong&gt;
First, I hope everyone understands that we don&#039;t co-sleep full-time by any means. What I wanted to point out, though, is that when you are a parent - all bets are off, and you&#039;ll do anything to comfort that child and make things work.

inthefastlane - I hope all is still going well with JJ and getting him back into his own bed. I know we&#039;ll allow Little Dude to join us when sick or scared, in the future, but we will continue to encourage him to sleep in his own space otherwise, since we all do better and he really does enjoy waking-up at his own pace in there.

Julie - We have a queen bed, so just slightly bigger. Thus the reason Little Dude and I would head to the extra bedroom for co-sleeping when he was so tiny. As for Florida, it was squishy, but somehow we made it work.

kweenmama - Your practice is how we hope to continue for our future of co-sleeping.

Kait - Little Dude actually does see our bed as one big playground now, which is funny, since he used to nap the best if we let him nap in there. (One or both of us would lay in there with him, he would fall asleep, and we would just stay close-by to make certain he didn&#039;t roll off the bed, even with the &quot;pillow borders&quot; we created.) Yes, I wish, for fun, he would just fall asleep in there sometimes, when we are having a trying day, where everyone is tired.

Mr Geek - So jealous of your king-sized bed. Although with three kids, I&#039;m sure you end up with less room than we have in our queen-sized one.

hotfessional - That so sounds like the first months of Little Dude&#039;s life. Whichever parent was home would be zonked on the couch, recliner or bed with Little Dude.

Veredd - The Hubby and I have talked a lot about what works for us, and happily, we are on the same page, so I&#039;m glad you were able to compromise with your husband, too. Did you allow six months with both children? How was the transition?

Bee - Thank you for the surprise! (And as a parent, yes, isn&#039;t it amazing how much the plans and realities differ?)

Storm - I loved it when Supercat actually came close enough to curl-up with Little Dude. He isn&#039;t allowed in his room at night, but yes, they used to nap together on our bed. Mickey has been a constant companion in bed, since the Florida trip.

		<description>I&#039;m happy for you!

Those photos are absolutely adorable. 

We co-slept for the first 6 months. I would have gone longer, but my husband didn&#039;t want to and I respected his wish, especially since I could see his point.</description>

		<description>He&#039;s so peaceful looking.

We never co-slept as a family, but many mornings Mr. Hot would come home from his 8 am class and find us both out cold on the couch.</description>

		<description>I totally agree about the modified opinion that one receives after becoming a parent. There are so many things that I have been &quot;educated&quot; in.

As fr the Co-Sleeping, it happens all too often in our house, and while we do have a king-size bed, there are times now when it sleeps five! My children are usually cunning enough (Maggie excluded ... so far) that they creep in without us waking and it is not until they are fast asleep and kicking that wake up. Then I usually make a judgment call as to whether I take them back or sleep in one of their beds and I choose whichever I perceive to offer the most sleep.</description>

		<description>Look at him all cuddled up with his favourite things!  How sweet!  I love the grip he has on that Mickey Mouse.

We sometimes wish that Kitten would sleep with us, but for her, our bed is just a giant place to play.  So that means that she sleeps in her bed, all night, every night.  Which is ok with us most of the time!  We wish that we could catch some sleepy cuddles sometimes, but know that those days may one day come again.  She did sleep with us for the first 2 months of her life, but as soon as she went to her crib, we all started to sleep through the night, and that was so much better.</description>

		<description>Sweet pics!  I have allowed co-sleeping when the kids were sick, had a bad dream, or we were traveling and the child was having a hard time.  I have been lucky in that my kids never got into the habit of sleeping with mom and dad.  They seemed to understand that the co-sleeping was for &quot;special&quot; circumstances.</description>

		<description>We co-sleep when the kids have a bad dream, which (thankfully) isn&#039;t often... We only have a full sized bed, and it just wasn&#039;t made for 3 bodies! *lol* ... When a kid ends up in our bed, after an hour or so of getting kicked, I always end up on the couch. *lol*</description>
