Why Do I Cosleep?

Why Do I Cosleep?

I do it for the midnight chats,
for the nursing snuggles,
for the sleepy smiles when the sun comes up.

I do it for the warmth and security,
the natural serenity,
for the peace of my loved ones surrounding me.

I do it for the sleep-laughs,
the crazy bed-head tickle-fights,
the instant comfort during nightmares.

I do it for the arm (or leg!) flopped over me,

over dad, or baby brother.

I do it for the tiny hands,

gently seeking out my own in the dark.

I do it to see daddy snuggles,
to watch them sprawled out the exact same way,
to witness the beautiful bond they have.

I watch the same thing happen with her brother now.

I do it for the biological reasons,
for the psychological reasons,
for the love reasons.

Sometimes I get kicked in the face
or end up at the end of the bed,
but I wouldn't change it for the world,

Every second is worth it in the end.

They're only little for such a short while,
so why waste precious time kicking them out of our bed?

THIS is why I Cosleep. ❤
