New Sleeping Arrangements and Elmo!

I finally decided to start teaching the boys to sleep in their own beds. We bought Gedalya a mattress and put it on the floor next to Zusha's bed.

I nursed Gedalya to sleep and everyone fell asleep so nicely. Whenever one of them calls me, I come over to them.

As an incentive to sleep in their beds and not run back to mine, I bought them Elmo sleeping bags! They were so excited and tried all the variations: zipping it up, leaving it open as a blanket, fuzzy side in and slick side in. They love it!

Although many times, I end up falling asleep with them there. Sometimes even till the morning! Imagine, if you thought an adult and 2 kids in a 48" bed was tight, try sleeping with a toddler on a CRIB mattress all night! LOL!

(Confession: sometimes I put them to sleep in my bed anyway because although I like feeling of sleeping in a child-free bed, more often than not my bed remains empty while we all camp out on crib mattresses. The nights I let them into my bed, I feel so luxurious to sleep with so much space! ;) )
