Family Time on The Family Bed

Another of the kids' favourite activity for Family Time is playing/camping/reading/jumping on the bed. They can arrange the pillows and imagine it's a campfire or that they're in a boat.
Of course, jumping is an all-time favourite activity.
After 8 years and lots of jumping, the springs in the mattress are creaking and I know it's high time for a change.
YeeYee tells me that the kids should sleep on their own beds. (I'm waiting to see YeeTeow lock their kids out of their room...heh heh!)

But they are just so adorable when they sleep. And they smell so nice.

I love looking at their sweet-surrender look.

Sure I sometimes don't sleep too soundly because it's not uncommon to have a foot in your face or a leg landing on your tummy. And you find your bolster gets stolen now and then.
Or once in a while, you have to wake up in the middle of the night to help Joe hunt for Barney and then find that Papa is hugging Barney.
Sure I know there are lots of people who feel kids should sleep in their own beds. I don't want to pick a fight. And one day they will. But for now, they are most welcome to sleep with us.

In fact, I'm planning on having a GIANT bed when we move to our new place.

TWO King-sized beds next to each other!!!

  3. i totally 100% agree with you. i love having the kids sleep with us. Sam still sleeps in his cot, Rachel has her own mattress placed beside our bed (our mattress is also on the floor) but she loves to come and sleep with us. And i definitely dont mind.

    like you, i love their sweet-surrender look when they are sleeping. and they have the most angelic faces when they are asleep. i sometimes love to just sit down and gaze at them sleeping...

    yeay to TWO king-sized beds! how i wish i have the space to do that too! it would be lovely! :):)

    Reuben, i suppose the most logical answer would be when the kids are asleep la! hahahahaha :P:P Right, Lah?
