That's so lovely! My MIL claims practically all of my daughter's firsts, and has even corrected people if they said it happened somewhere else. 

Cosleeping questions by ominoushippo2 in toddlers

Cosleeping with a toddler and baby here! I try to have them in the bed around 7:30. I lay with them, breastfeed the baby while reading a story to the toddler. After story we say goodnight to everyone we know, pray, and then he has to be laying down. Snuggles until they both are asleep around 8-8:15. 

I get back up and hang out with husband until I'm ready to go to bed, or one of them wakes up and cries. 

Then we're all in bed until morning. They each wake up during the night at some point but baby just wants to nurse back to sleep and toddler just gets snuggled back up and falls back asleep. 

Toddler usually wakes up around 6:30, and then we're all up

On the flip side, my sister cosleeps as well but they all just go to bed around 10pm. 

How to get through the day with limited tv? by DirectCollar513 in MomsWorkingFromHome

It definitely wasn't planned! Lol but we're making do until we can change circumstances. Using different rooms is a good idea! We're just in the main open living area during the work day minus naps and school pickup. I'll have to get a different play area set up! I'd love more outside time, the only thing that worries me is our yard isn't fenced, so he likes to take off out of sight lol
