My Boy

Almost every night, a little visitor, about 3 (ish) feet tall and 37 pounds, creeps into our bed.  He sleeps sideways, relegating us to about 4 inches of mattress on either side of the bed. We suffer through kidney punches and side jabs as this little visitor actively dreams whatever his subconscious conjures up.

And every morning I say never again! I am SO tired of getting kicked all night... tonight is the night he stays in his bed ALL NIGHT. 

But then I look at this sweet face and big blue eyes... my only boy...and know I will never be able to tell him he can't sleep with us if he feels he needs to.

I know I will miss it when he no longer comes around. 

I had these pictures in my head for a long time. Feels good to get them out.

Love these.

I ordered three big float wraps for his room... I'll try to post pictures later. Poor kid- his room is such an afterthought... the price he pays for being the fourth I guess :-). There is still a little girl's chandelier hanging from the ceiling that we have been meaning to move for YEARS, and the bedding and walls leave much to be desired. But I am going to fix that! Soon!
