Let them be little

You know the old song by Lonestar: Let Them Be Little? I often think about the lyrics of that song because I love it's message:

Let them be little, 'cause they're only that way for a while.
Give them hope, give them praise, give them love everyday
Let them cry, let them giggle,
Let them sleep in the middle.
Oh, let them be little.

This morning I awoke to the sound of a camera flashing in my face and ultimately to this sight:



How Tyler and I were both in this bed five minutes earlier, I don't know (he was in between the two). And how I slept perfectly fine until I realized I had Jacob's feet under my pillow is an even greater mystery. It's a good thing they are cute.


Disclaimer: Nights like this are a rare to semi-rare occasion. The kids do go to bed every night in their own rooms, tend to join us some mornings around 4 or 5am and are wise enough to do it without waking either one of us up. As long as we get alone time at night and peace most of the night, we don't mind. We kind-of like it because they're fun to wake up to.
