Night time approaches and I find myself in yet another debate with my 7 year old son.
Our nightly routine is pretty quick when it comes to getting ready for bed. However, the success stops there.
First off, parent fail, every night my 7 year old, who already sleeps on the couch and not his bed, ends up smack dab in the middle of his father and myself.
Usually, I don't even realize he gets in bed with us until morning..and because of that, he snuggles nicely and falls fast asleep between ( on ! ) mom and dad.
I'd love to walk him to his room, but I know he'd walk right back. With older siblings he's learned to be very cunning.
Having 3 older children, we never experienced this issue. So with our youngest, we became so at a loss as to what to do, we bring out the bag of bribes. Not my finest hour(s) and they don't work anyway! But, nonetheless, nightly I give it all I have to try to get baby number 4 to stop taking over my bed.
Wishful thinking!
