Jessica,

I had the same situation with my daughter - only one child not three. I
decided she'd 'wean' herself  from sleeping with me and just as she
wouldn't graduate from high school still breastfeeding, she wouldn't
graduate from high school still sleeping with me. She stopped sleeping
with me at all in the 7th grade. Over the years she went in and out of
her own bed; sometimes she'd fall asleep in my bed; sometimes in hers
and come in during the night; sometimes she'd stay in hers if I sat with
her. Though she'd never go to sleep alone - someone had to sit with her.
I didn't mind, actually I liked it, in part because I'm a very sound sleeper.

I must say it seems easier to do this as a single parent as the couples
I know generally have kids sleeping in their own beds and many of my
single friends have the 'luxury' of letting their kids self wean. I'm
sure it also depends on how supportive the partner is.

Maybe you could try putting all three in one bed together so they'd have
eachother to snuggle up to??
