Musical Beds

The boys have been in the bunk beds for months now and it’s time for me to take down the crib and decide what to do with it.  Parting with certain baby things is harder than one might expect.  Maybe this is why my parents still have my childhood crib in their attic?

The other night a phrase came to me out of nowhere: Thick as thieves.  That’s exactly how I would describe these two little boys.  In every picture they’re half hugging, half strangling each other.  Fortunately, not on purpose.  In any case, I feel incredibly fortunate that they are such good buddies and rarely fight like cats and dogs.  Though sometimes they do and honest to goodness, it literally sounds like a cat and a dog fighting in this little cartoon-like tumbleweed.

So the two little partners in crime have been taking what feels like a million years to go to sleep every night.  Now that they’re in the same room, there is all sorts of new shenanigans being dreamed up each and every night.  More agua, more animals, this toy, that toy, baybits, flashlights.  No one can secretly eat dessert on the couch in peace.

And every night they decide to sleep somewhere else.  Sometimes Jake is on the top bunk and Nate is on the bottom bunk.  Sometimes Nate is on the top and Jake is on the bottom.  Sometimes they’re both on the top.  Sometimes they’re both on the bottom.  Sometimes I go to sleep with one guy laying next to me and wake-up with another.  That didn’t come out right.  Sometimes I go to sleep with one guy and wake-up with two, or three.  That really didn’t sound right.  Every night is a new game of musical beds.

But I do have to admit, there is almost nothing more adorable than seeing Jacob and Nathaniel cuddled up together in the bottom bunk.  Angelic.  Seriously might be the cutest thing in the world.

I’d love to snap a picture but I’m afraid the flash will wake them up.

And that would not be cute at all.

Miss Dulce took this picture at school when they weren’t looking.  Insanely adorable, right?
