Star Wars Tent

I know that I have posted before about it being ironic that we bought a house with enough bedrooms for each of our kids to have there own, And, though that may be true, they more often than not end up sleeping together.

I have noticed that sleeping arrangements have become a sort-of "economy" at our house. Sarah uses the right to let Shane sleep with her as an effective bartering strategy. For example, if she has a friend over, she tells Shane that if he leaves her and her friend alone, then he can sleep with her that night. Or, if Shane has something Sarah wants, or wishes to trade for, then she gets her way by offering to let Shane sleep with her.

Manipulative? Yes.

Creative on her part? Yes.

Do I really care where they sleep as long as they sleep well and are not in my bed or floor?

Not really.

When Shane does not sleep with her, he often sleeps in his Star Wars tent which is on the landing, right outside of Sarah's room. It is a square tent, so his little legs stick out the door.

One night, when I went to give them kisses before I went to bed, I found both of them in this little tent. It is nice to see that they really do enjoy being around each other. I am glad that they find comfort in being together.
