Default Re: A Letter to New, Co-sleeping Parents

I also said that I would never let my kids sleep in my bed, but that was before I had my sweet boy. Now I can't image trying to sleep while he is at the other end of the house. I love being able to open my eyes in the middle of the night and see him laying there and know that he is alright.

Prayer...lots of prayer! My husband sometimes questions my AP style of parenting. He is old school and hasn't had alot of experience with kids. I am finding that through prayer and watching my example, he is coming around on alot of issues.

Raising children from Foster Care may need exactly that security that they aren't alone. Any suggestions on how to speak to my husband about this?
I forgot to post the quote first. My reply is actually above this. Sorry
