spanners45 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I have been thinking recently how much easier bedtime/story time would be if I had a large(rocking)chair. At the moment I have two rather chubby kids sitting on my lap and between milk, cuddlies and kids, I can barely read the book. I wondered if anyone has any suggestions. I know I could make the older one sit in his bed but we quite like that wind down time and the cuddles. Thanks.

lucyA1308 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I have been wondering how to do 2 when the time comes. At the moment it works with seperate bed times, but it does mean that bed time can be rather lengthy. I think the cuddle is very important, as it helps them get all warm and snuggly. If they are lying in their bed it is not quite the same thing, is it?

spanners45 Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 To be honest, it is doable in a regular plain/rocking/nursing chair; just not the most comfortable thing. I think maybe I need to look at a large-ish armchair. I think the rocking aspect is maybe less important than fitting in the chair the 3 of us and having some nice quiet time before they go to bed after the non-stop running around of the day.

Mrs TP Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 We've always sat on the floor for bed time stories. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/30206-rocking-chair-to-fit-two-kids-any-ideas/#findComment-625908 Share on other sites More sharing options...

etta166 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 We all sit in bed together (often the top bunk) or on the floor. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/30206-rocking-chair-to-fit-two-kids-any-ideas/#findComment-626548 Share on other sites More sharing options...
