That way, he could play for a bit before ordering his slaves out of bed to attend to his needs.Ashhttp://www.theshaffers.org/announcements/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021094789918063530.post-12433686061971390572010-07-28T23:25:59.302-07:002010-07-28T23:25:59.302-07:00A great tip I picked up online was to take the rail off the crib (like you do to convert it to a toddler bed) and secure the frame to your bedframe &amp; basically extend your bed...so you get to have your own space AND sleep. It was a beautiful thing when we hooked it up &amp; worked like a charm. I would recommend it to anyone who doesn&#39;t want an elbow in the throat yet doesn&#39;t mind their child sleeping in their room. For us it was the best of both worlds.<br /><br />Glad your &quot;playing dead&#39; is working for you though - lack of sleep is hard pill to swallow long term &amp; not very good for anyone!boopoopadoopnoreply@blogger.com
