Sleeping Arrangements

This is what the kids do when I need to take a phone call and they need to keep Cooper quiet.. at the time anything to get through my business call of taking an order or dealing with business issues.. but then I go in there to my boy who is covered in "apple stickiness" and little bits and pieces everywhere of apple and usually find myself wondering why I let my kids get by with so much... my life would be easier if I didnt' let anyone help me cook , and never gave my baby a messy snack, and always made him buckle in his highchair  and not stand, and everyone slpet in their own bed and not mine!:) but some how I don't think that when I get to be old and look back I will regret any of those little things.

     Well we have had quite a few creative sleeping arrangements here. Suzy has slept with just about everyone even Aliza in the crib a few times. Suzy always puts herself to nap with Aliza and the photo of them on my bed was not posed and Yes- Suzy and Aliza were both actually sleeping.
     Cooper is now moved from the crib in our room to the Pack and Play in the elevator -where he sleeps much better.
     Dan is now Gone most of the week and sometimes is only home for Sat and Sun night. So the girls take turns sleeping with me... or sometimes I look and find that they have decided to camp on my floor and I have a child occupying both walkways on either side of my bed and one in bed with me. I have never had the heart to boot them out and I suppose there is a place inside me that is warmed to the core to know that they want to sleep there in close poximity just to be close to Mom.
     Now Suzy almost always sleeps at the bottom of the girls lower bunk. The Girls now sleep together when Dan is home. Even though Aliza and Josie bicker about "taking up too much room" and "stop touching my babydoll" they seem to... well what do you think? (see bottom picture)...  I think it looks like they seem  work it out in the end. :)
