A has had a few subsequent colds for what has felt like forever. He has a pretty rough cough and gets pretty congested mid-afternoon and night. Usually when he wakes up in the middle of the night he is able to soothe himself back to sleep relatively painlessly (thanks be to sleep training around 6-7 months!) When he is this congested and having coughing fits he can't soothe himself as well and needs a good snuggle and belly rub from his mama or da to get back to sleep. Since we are busy with work and building a house and all, usually no one feels like rocking him back to sleep and then putting him in his crib, so into the family bed he comes.
During the renovation we've kept a mini-fridge as part of our "camp kitchen" on the 2nd floor. It was so convenient for getting a bottle of milk before dawn to give to the magically joyful child who wakes up between 5:40-6 am. We also kept a box of Cheerios in the room if that was what he was hankering for.
Here is a picture of A and Jennythedog hanging out in bed after Tim and I got up to start the day. This is a pretty typical scene. A has milk, cheerios and a ton of books he is perusing. JTD is snuggled up under the covers near the foot of the bed, growling at anyone who tries disturb her blissful sleep.
Haven't found JTD yet? She is that mound of blankets behind A on the bed.
