Though I’m totally ambivalent about family bed–I love being able to snuggle Grammy, but the pee-soaked bed in the middle of the night and not having snuggled Shawna in about 2 years and 3 months cause great conflict–the other night something happened that made me love it more. 

I was trying to get Grammy to go to bed a little earlier (stupid me), so I laid down with her and Tasha (from the Backyardigans–we didn’t spawn another one, or get another wife) and her baba.  AFter she was done with baba, Grammy tossed and turned trying to get comfortable.  Finally she settled in with her back to me, and I wrapped my arm around her and held her belly.  I asked, “Do you like it when I hold you this way?”  Grammy said “Yes, spooning.”

How cool is that?  Stupid pediatrician.
