Zzzzzzzzzz

Joshua is in that phase where he gets unhappy if he can't see me or Amy or, better still, both of us. He'll play very happily in the jumper seat or the exersaucer or on the floor as long as we're within line of sight. Leave the room for 30 seconds to get something from the kitchen, however, and it's a different story. Nap time is the same way -- he really hates being left alone in his room these days.

This morning the only way he'd take a nap was lying in bed curled up against my side with his head on my arm. That was okay, since I was tired enough that I was glad for the excuse to lie down myself for a while. Both Sam and Joshua were up a lot last night. This late night knee pain stuff with Samantha is wearing on all of us. Everyone is a little sleep-deprived and a little on-edge because of it.

Napping next to me today, Joshua slept like the proverbial baby. Everyone once in a while he'd startle a bit in his sleep and open his eyes. But as soon as he saw that I was lying next to him he'd give a little smile, close his eyes, and go right back to sleep. Yeah, okay, so he has his adorable baby moments.

Of course when Samantha came into the bedroom and he opened his eyes and saw her, he gave a huge ear-to-ear grin, craned his neck backwards to see her better, and went back to sleep in that ridiculously uncomfortable looking position. Sam is far and away his favorite person in the whole world. I hope that continues when they're both older.
