Yup. DS is almost 3 and sleeps with us. We enjoy it most of the time. He's very snuggly and it's nice to get those snuggles after long days of threenager-ness. I don't know when we will stop. We are expecting baby #2 in September, who will be in our room too, but I doubt that'll change things. DS is deaf so I'm not concerned about baby waking him up and I'm also way more comfortable with him in our room anyway because of that. We will probably let him decide.

@snowjewelz: I've gone away overnight and he's been fine! DH and I haven't gone away together, but I'm not worried about it from a bed sharing perspective. It's just a couple nights in the grand scheme of things, so if we did (and we might when LO2 arrives, if we both stay overnight in the hospital) it wouldn't be the end of the world!

@snowjewelz: no, he has a big boy bed, he's never been in a crib much, or he'd bed share with whoever is staying with him. My best friend and her daughter may come stay with him while I'm in the hospital with LO2, so I could see them all sleeping together in the same bed, watching movies and goofing off until the kids zonk, like a toddler slumber party

We still bedshare with LO with is 3.5. We have begun the process of LO moving to her own bed (started it again, I should say haha). When she turns 4 she is getting a "special bed" which will be next to ours but which will be her new bed. She claims she will sleep in it. We will see.

When we've gone away and LO has stayed overnight with grandparents, they bedshare with her too.

We did until he was 3. He'd start the night in his own bed and come finish the night with us whenever he woke up (usually around 1am). We stopped because my pregnant belly was getting too big for us all to sleep comfortably in our queen sized bed. It was pretty easy to get him to sleep all night in his bed. If he woke up, we would give him a quick back-patting if he called for us OR he'd get to choose from a treasure box of he slept all night without us. The baby co-sleeps with us these days. Now that the baby is here, my husband goes to sleep in our son's room if he wakes up (I think he wants the extra attention/cuddles).

We've done several overnights together without our son. Last summer he stayed at my parents house for 4 days without us. My dad would sleep in the bed with our son when he woke up in the MOTN.

@snowjewelz: Hmm, now that you mention it, it has stopped but I don't know when. He always started in the crib and ended up in our bed. Around 2am when he was tiny, around 4:30am around his 2nd birthday. Somewhere around late age two/early age three.
@alivooo1 good luck!

@snowjewelz: Thank you! We're excited and nervous. Ha!
