Lonely Family Bed

24 Aug

We've got our family bed to ourselves again. Rey has been successfully sleeping for at least part of the night in his little toddler bed, in his new super hero room that he shares with his big brother.

Tonight, I'm able to hang out in our bedroom, working on stuff, watching TV, alone and quiet. I'm sure this sounds dreamy, but I have to say that I'm sort of bummed. My babies are getting so big - sleeping all by themselves! This king-sized bed feels like an ocean right now. I'm not sure I'm ready for both of them to be so independent.

Rey starts one-day-a-week preschool in a few weeks. Alex will be in his last year of preschool. Time is going so fast; I feel like I go to sleep with toddlers and wake up with teenagers.

So, tomorrow, when Rey asks to be held ("Mama, I want you hold me!"), or Alex asks for extra snuggles, I'm going to soak it all up. Soon enough, "I want you hold me!" will turn into "Moooom, can I borrow the car today??"
