Room to Roam

We moved Tucker to a twin bed in October kind of on accident. We happened to go to Tulsa for a few days just to get away and he slept in a normal bed at our hotel so we tried it when we got home. It was a miracle for us because he began to sleep all night for the first time in his life! This glory lasted all of two months. In December we went on a two week ski trip with my family and then slept in various other beds over the holidays. Since then he has decided he'd much rather sleep in the middle. This equals little room for his parents on the edges of our queen sized bed. We have adapted because you get to a certain point and it doesn't matter if your all that comfortable you just must sleep. He starts out in his bed every night and makes it until 3-4 a.m. and then he comes to my side of the bed and says, "hi momma. hey. hey momma. hi." until I reach over and pull him up and over my body to his spot. We have tried getting back up and taking him back to his bed. He then reappears a hour or two later. This week we've just been letting him fall to sleep in our bed and then taking him back to his own.
This morning however, Chris had to go open the church up for some ladies who are working out there at 5:30 a.m. At this point last night Tucker was laying with his head towards the foot of our bed and about half on top of me (as usual, I seem to be his very favorite pillow.) So I had Chris move him back to his bed and it left me and our dog alone. It was fabulous. I rolled over and stretched out. Such luxury! Chris and I have been talking about upgrading to a king size but this morning I told him maybe I'd just keep the old one just for me. Man it was nice to stretch out and not have anyone snoring or on top of me or making me hot or kicking me or anything else.
I've always loved my bed, but now that the space is so limited when I have it all to myself I love it all the more!
