Co-sleeping essentially means sleeping in close proximity to your child. It may be in the same bed or just in the same room. Some ways of co-sleeping that different families use are: Bed-sharing/Family Bed: Parent(s) sleep in the same bed with the child. Sidecar arrangement: Securely attach a crib to one side of the parentsâ bed, next to the mother. Three sides of the babyâs crib are left intact, but the side next to the parentsâ bed is lowered or removed so that mother and baby have easy access to one another.
Homographs are words that have the same spelling but differ in origin, meaning, and sometimes pronunciation, such as the verb bear (to carry or endure) and the noun bear (the animal with a shaggy coat).
A homophone is a word that is pronounced the same as another word but differs in meaning. A homophone may also differ in spelling. The two words may be spelled the same, such as rose and rose, or differently, such as carat, caret, and carrot, or to, two, and too. The term homophone may also apply to units longer or shorter than words, such as phrases, letters, or groups of letters which are pronounced the same as another phrase, letter, or group of letters. Homophones that are spelled the same are also both homographs and homonyms. Homophones that are spelled differently are also called heterographs.
