I firmly believe that children do not need cute nurseries. My daughters slept in a family bed consistently well into toddlehood and every once in a while until now with their dad. I really miss not being able to embrace a sleeping child in the morning. Come to think of it, I miss it more than I miss sex.

So toss your regrets! Sharing a bedroom until 5 was perfectly OK for him. He did not miss anything important.

Good luck tomorrow and in the days to come.
