If it is one thing I look forward to around this time is the Carreira's Christmas Tree Family Tradition! Founded by ME :) my sisters and my mom started visiting (or going house to house) homes to help decorate the Christmas Tree as well as decorate the home. When my son was not even a year old was when this tradition began... in my home in Port of Spain. Now 8 years later it has become a Family get together, food and drinks sharing .... and putting up the decorations. I LOVE it. Coming from a home with many siblings (3 brother and 3 sister ... most married with children) it is great when most gather and the house is filled with everyone. Lets just say it is a lot of laughs, bickering, laughs ... silent moments when our mouths are filled with food ... and then delegation on the work area. Did I mention I LOVE it. So here are some pics of the end result. My home is now filled with Christmas ... and I have to start wrapping present. :) This picture shows my mom, a...
It's been a long time since I had little ones sleeping with me, my kids are now teens. But, when they were little, I would sometimes have all four of them in bed with me.

ReplyDeletenone--the only time my kids got in bed with us is when they were sick or had a bad dream--didn't get into any habits like the above-very cute!
ReplyDeleteWe don't have kiddo's but I hear that those positions are normall lol!
ReplyDeleteI didn't co-sleep so I didn't have to experience any of these funny positions!
ReplyDeleteWe have gone through that. Our daughter is 5. Ine one way, it is nice to cuddle, however, if we had it to do over again, we wouldn't have co-slep. She ended up not wanting to go to bed by herself, whether in her own bed, or in ours. It has made it very difficult, until we had to start getting very firm with her. For people that have "easy" children, bonus! We didn't, lol! We have a very stron-willed child.
ReplyDeleteThis is hysterical and so true! Except that my husband somehow always gets to be comfortable.
ReplyDeleteAwwww! :D

Every time I see this it makes me giggle...and makes me a little sad that my girls never enjoyed sleeping with us for longer than a little break when they aren't feeling well.
