Our daughter slept in her crib until she was about a year old, and then…it's blurry. Time passed, and when faced with either getting a solid 7-8 hours or dealing with new night-night dramas, we took the easier path. In the process, we also grew to love having her in our bed.

In our house, she sits on the fireplace step for a minute or two. Usually, she cries. I use that precious free time to fold laundry or check a few emails.
