Day 3 – January Photo A Day Challenge

Day 3 of documenting the life of my family over the next 31 days. Stay tuned for a picture a day of my family over the next month!

Captured his morning as the boys woke up in our bed.

The story – Dusty and Beau creep into our bed most mornings when they wake up. Sometimes they go back to sleep, and today was one of those days. I love when they jump into our bed – even though it gets pretty squishy with the 4 of us (and my big fat baby gut). On the plus side, it means you get a little bit more sleep….  But tell me …. how is it that a child can take up more room than an adult?  Damien and I are always crammed together like sardines, but when you cast your eyes over the other side, there is Dusty sprawled out and taking up half the bed. This morning though, Beau and Dusty were snoozing right next to to each other. Their little faces were touching as they slept and Beau had his arm on Dusty’s. I had a smile on my face the minute I opened my eyes this morning – looking at their beautiful little sleeping faces. After I quickly and quietly climbed out of bed and re-entered the room with my camera Dusty (loud as anything) says “Why have you got your camera in here mummy?”. Beau didn’t even flinch, but I must have woken Dusty. I told him I wanted to take a picture of my boys sleeping, but now he was awake I would just take a sleepy one of Beau. This is the end result and I didn’t ask for an ounce of participation. I love this image. Why? I love the tousled hair, and the sleepy eyes… But most of all I love this image because siblings are the BEST. Siblings are truly one of the best parts of life, and in my experience there is something really special about brothers.
