Re: RMers with kids
my kid has decided she's done with the crib. we've had to push the bed against the wall and borrow a guard rail from my sister in law.
this will make bedtime even more interesting when we return home from australia in a few weeks, and the kid's jetlagged to the bejesus.

Re: RMers with kids
It's an adjustment for awhile, but it won't take long before the kid can feed and entertain themselves while you get some quality sleeping in time.

Re: RMers with kids
Kept the kids up late last night to take them to a light festival at a local park where we're staying. Walking back to the car my 7 year old said she was going to sleep in the car and I would have to carry her into the house and change her etc while she slept. I warned her that if she did that I would shake her awake, to which she said - 'You can't shake a baby, or they end up walking funny! Is that true daddy?'
I'm still amazed at what sticks in that head of hers
