super snuggle.

i'll be the first to admit i get frustrated.  especially from 2:00-3:00 am when kaimana is having trouble sleeping and i pop out of bed every 10-15 minutes to replace his binky, rock him for a few moments and lay him back down.  this was my night last night.  

typically, if he wakes up at all, it is only once and all he needs is a few minutes in the rocking chair to settle back down.  not last night.  was it due to teething?  gas?  bad dreams?  bad dreams of teething and gas?  we'll never know.

what i can tell you is that after getting up about 3 times i was done.  on these rare occasions, kaimana gets to come and sleep in the big bed.  that is, he sleeps on my chest for a minute, and then i roll him off into the middle of the bed.  ahhhhhhh... then he slept.  

he started stirring around 6:00 am, and i thought to myself, "oh man. i really don't want to get up yet."  half-asleep, he sat up, flung himself onto his back (as he likes to do whenever he is on a soft surface.  sometimes even when he's on a hard surface.), and laid upside-down for a minute.  then, still half-asleep, he sat up, crawled up toward me, laid his head down on my shoulder and fell back asleep.  

until 7:15.

that's what i call a super snuggle.
