My husband has had a BIG no Esme on the bed rule since day one. She is allowed EVERYWHERE and ANYWHERE except for our bed. I kind of am sad that I can't sleep with her, but at the same time, when him and I are doing our stuff she doesn't bother us. She goes to her own little bed beside our bed and stays there, which is good. Also, we have a really HIGH sleigh bed so even if she wanted to, which she has never tried, I don't think she would be able to get up there... so maybe a new taller bed is the answer?
