I'm bored!

I'm laying here snuggling Lucas because he's teething and wouldn't nap any other way.

So I have a question now that you've all learned you'll do things as a parent you never thought you would what do you think you'll let your toddler child get away with and what will you put your foot down on?
STM's what do you do?

I never thought I would bed share. Obviously, I underestimated how sleep deprivation would affect me. LOL

I told myself/everyone that starting night 1 at home, he would be in his crib.  Nope... slept in the RNP next to the bed till 8 weeks.

Only reason: when he would wake up over night, he wasn't loud enough for us to hear over the monitor to wake us up.  Once he turned 8 weeks, he started STTN, so he went into his room.  

He's slept in our room once since then, and it was the night after a set of shots he had... I don't remember the reason why though.

Never thought I would bed share.

Also as somebody who hates nose pickers, never thought I would pick somebody ELSES nose so often.

As a STM I already knew I would bed share, especially because I bf,
so I didn't try to talk myself out of it.

I was trying to get my daughter used to sleeping through loud noises so I wouldn't have to walk around on tiptoes while she slept. That didnt happen! DD has always been a light sleeper and I never want to chance her waking up, so now we all tiptoe while she sleeps even at 8 months!
