Tangled

The boys and I have all been sharing a king sized bed here at my parents' house. It really is a comfortable bed with plenty of room for the three of us. I sleep on one edge with Owen tucked next to me towards the middle, and Eli on the opposite edge with a giant body pillow wedged against him so he doesn't roll out. So far it's been a decent arrangement. A few mornings Eli has woken up and asked to "cuddle mommy too" so I have to hoist him over Owen's slumbering body and cuddle him over on the edge.

I usually just lay down with the boys to get them asleep (since we've been here) and then just go to sleep myself. I've been itching for some quiet alone time though, so last night I snuck out of bed after they were asleep and stayed up to watch a movie (Nights in Rodanthe - I hated it!). I had the monitor on and heard Owen squawk a couple of times, but he quieted back down so I just stayed where I was. When I finally came to bed, this is what I saw:

Eli must have been looking for me to cuddle up to as he's laying in my spot. At first I just had to giggle and take a picture. Then as I moved Eli over, I realized how dangerous it probably is for a sleeping baby to have a leg draped over his neck. "Like a boa constrictor!" my mom pointed out to me. So, I guess I won't be leaving them alone in the bed together to sneak in alone time anymore....
