I really love this kid

Oh my little Blakey - how you entertain me. How you keep me on my toes and never let life be boring. Blake sleeps with about 10 blankets, 7 stuffed animals and various toys , depending on his mood. The toys range from books, a toy guitar, a volleyball, a basket of plastic food (referred to as his dinner), hokey-pokey elmo, a belt, a remote control, a shopping cart, and one night even two little chairs. The highlight of my night is going to check on Blake after he has fallen asleep. After we put him to bed, it takes him a long time to wind down and actually crash. Ben and I are always curious to see where and how he is sleeping. I have been saving up pictures of different nights to post and after tonight the time has come (especially since Ben is out of town and I have no one to laugh at this with). Remember he always starts out in his bed, in a clean room and in his jammies. It is rare, very rare that I find him in the same clothes I put on him. His favorite is to go "commando" when sleeping. Bedtime is always an adventure and I love his little quirky personality.

*most importantly notice in every picture that our good friend blanket is always close by.

*here are a few of my favorite poses:

tonight - bare naked with everything (even the pillowcase) on the floor with him

last thursday - the two chairs from his little table and his rug on his couch

last wednesday - on his couch with his guitar, church bag and other assorted treasures

last week - on his dresser/changing table snuggled away. i didn't think to worry until my mom pointed out he could have fallen off.

on the rocking chair with half of the clothes from his dresser

sitting indian style at the head of the bed - minus the pillow

in eli's closet wearing his monkey backpack

here's a quick pic of my oldest son - can you find him?
*hint: look under the bed - dead asleep
