warm as toast

our son has decided going to bed sucks. he doesn't want to fall asleep unless he's in our bed, cuddled up next to one of us with one pacifier in his mouth and one in his hand. (he's prepared. should one fall out of his crib, or as of late, get lost in our bed, he always has a back up.) i just don't know what to do. i'm against crying it out, however, i know if we continue to bring him into our bed to get him to go to sleep, we're both going to be miserable. every night will be spent with one of us tethered to him at bedtime. and we can't do that.

right now he's crying in his bed. not real tears, just sort of a continuous eeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. sort of half-assed. it's killing me though, to sit here.
