From Mommy: Our room seems to have finished it's mutation into a communal-sleeping facility. It was but a matter of time. We finally pushed an extra twin bed next to our king to form the "Mega-Bed".
The Mega-Bed's superpower is preventing deeply sleeping children from pummeling their parents into next Tuesday with the punches, kicks and slaps the little darlings don't even remember issuing. Lately, come morning, all Mom and Pop have been able to show for their night's "sleep" is substantial bruising.
No more!
While it does take up most of the room, the Mega-Bed also provides comfort and containment for any children who:
"Had a nightmare"
"Had a leg cramp"
"Are cold"
"Miss their dog"
"Are sad"
"Miss their Daddy"
"Have something important to tell you, but I forgot what it was - can I sleep here?"
"Hear a bee"
"Are hot"
Have "a frog in their mouth"
or any of the other reasons that bring them to our room, blanket in tow. Unconventional? Definitely. Crazy? Probably. Are you surprised? I'll wager not :)

Well . . . . parenting protocol has definitely changed over the years. This wouldn't be my idea of "fun", but to each his own, as they say. Good luck with this! =)Mom
