Oh my gosh, what a wonderful boy you have. :) And it sounds like your daughter is willing to compromise. What a great trait. (I blame the hubby for most everything myself.)

P.S. Just in case, in a couple of weeks, I would get the couch out of the bedroom. When she protests, you could just matter of factly say, "You are a big girl who sleeps in her own bed now. You aren't going to need the couch any more."

You could also say something like..."Now that you are sleeping in your own bed, Mommy and Daddy realize how much we love having our Mommy-Daddy time alone. Thank you for being a big girl. I want you to know that if you come to my room at night now, we will tell you you must go to sleep in your own room." That sets a boundary between kids and parents; one that she needs, whether she likes it or not. She might test it, but be firm and you should only have to enforce it once or twice before she accepts it.

All of that said, though, I think she's going to stay in her bed :)

Pick me up one of those LOSER t-shirts while you're at it, k? Not that the kids sleep in our room....because I spend half the night in theirs. But now that the boy has his own giant queen-sized bed (a serendipitous bequest, we didn't buy it) the girlie spends half the nights in it with him and I'm getting the occasional night with Hubs in our room. Bliss.

Soooo sweet:) Yeah. our girls all THREE sleep in our room. 2 on the floor 1 in our bed. Craziness!

Hey whatever works, right? :)

G is an awesome kid and a great big brother!

Hubs and I were LOSERS too for years, thankfully the youngest decided on his own to finally sleep in his own room. Now, we have two 80lb Labs taking up half the bed. *sigh*

We are right there with you, wearing our big Loser shirts. Our 6 year old is still sleeping in our bed (we carry him to his own after he falls asleep) and this past week he has finally decided that falling asleep in big brother's bed is good.

Here's hoping that both our kids continue and that we can lose the Loser shirts.

I need a "LOSERS" t-shirt too. Haven't slept in the same bed with my husband since I don't know when!
