I have a new scientific theory.....The size of the child is inversely related to the amount of room they need in a bed. Let's take a step back.

Beth and I have one rule that we have done really well with so far with both of the boys and that is....no kids sleeping in our bed. Well, sometimes these rules need to be bent. One example was last night/this morning when Ben woke up at midnight and decided to scream until 4:00am (yes you just read that correctly) We tried everything and finally Beth just brought him in to the bed. (note: if I suggested that as a solution, I'm pretty sure Beth would have bitten my head off...literally).

Anyway, as soon as he was between us, he immediately relaxed and went back to sleep. He also started taking a serious angle in the bed. Beth seemed to have the same amount of space, maybe a little more and I was slowly getting squeezed off the bed. I was able to fall asleep at one point, only to wake up with half my ass hanging off the bed. I adjusted my position and was able to get another two hours of sleep. Was it peaceful? Well, I woke up with my head on the nightstand. I was literally pushed off the bed. I have had a bad back and neck all day and it is due to a child who comes up to my kneecap, needing all the space in the bed.....
