It is not perfect. But, I am not as frustrated with him when I was trying to get him in his crib. He falls asleep and then if he wakes, it takes a minute to soothe him, as compared to a lot longer if he was in his crib. I really did not like feeling so 'at odds' with James every. single. night.
I have decided to change my perspective on the whole situation. At night, James holds my finger when he sleeps. He rolls on his side and rubs my arm. I hear "I yub you mama" multiple times each night.
It's not the best solution, and it certainly takes it toll on us sometimes. But for now, James is in our bed, sleeping with his mama. And that makes him very happy.

Our kiddo has been in our bed almost from go! She's 2.5 and we always end up with her in our bed....we sleep though and I think for now that's ALL that matters is that we all get to sleep. Dr.Sears writes very informatively about co-sleeping....
We co-slept in our bed until my daughter got tired of it. Later, there were some nights I slept in her room with her. And now I can't remember when it stopped. LOL
She's a big girl now (only an inch shorter than me) and I miss those days.
