I'm torn both ways!! I love having him there, but at the same time I feel like he should eventually be in his own room whether it's now or later. I know my husband is ready for him to be in his own room. We have some friends who's children (7 and 3) are still sleeping in the family bed and we always said we'd never be like that. Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing but I think a husband a wife need that aloneness. I do love that my son's been in there this long because it's a really special time we have together. Especially now that he is figuring things out and is sociable in his own way. Last night he had me cracking up. I wonder if we could still have the same routine at night but then I can lay him down in his crib to sleep. Do you think that would cause confusion? I can imagine it may be frightening to fall asleep in one place and wake up in another.
