Breaking the rules

I am not sure how proper it is. In fact, I am sure the authors of Babywise would not condone it. But last night, Taylor was crying about an hour after he went to bed, and we got him up and brought him out with us. Now, understandably, we do not have a three bedroom apartment; Taylor’s room is separated from our living space by only a thin curtain. He hears everything that goes on after we go to bed. But he was moaning, “I wanna sit on the couch wis you!” How does any parent say no?
