Here is how Arram sleeps: in the middle of the bed, facing the wrong way, pillow askance, blankets in a big useless pile, legs poised for running. He will pinwheel like a starfish all through the night. A very active sleeper, this guy. How do I know this? From the nights when he's slept in Mama and Daddy's bed, and I've been kicked repeatedly in the neck.
But wait, where's Amiri?
Oh, there he is, sleeping in his toy box, of course!

He very carefully prepared his nest. First he made sure that the box contained only the soft stuffed animals, not the poky trucks or building blocks. Then he laid his pillow down over them like a mattress. He made sure his gloves were on, then climbed in and covered up with his Air Tahiti Nui contraband blanket. Perfect for a snooze.
I transferred him back to bed after we took this photo, carefully arranging him on his pillow and with a proper blanket, all laid out. When I checked on him half an hour later, he had joined his brother in doing sleep acrobatics.

Oh how darling! Sleeping with his gloves on!
Thank you so much for posting these beautiful pictures. It made my day. My library had to layoff several staff and they received notifications today. It hasn't been a good day here but luckily I was spared. So again thank you Allie for providing much needed relief in the form of your posts.

@Mom-- he loves those gloves. Even wears them to school.
@Saimi Auntie-- Sorry to hear about the trouble at the library but I'm glad to hear your position is OK. Thanks for reading and I'm glad our little guys could brighten a dark day.
They are doing things their own way even in sleep...
They will probably impress us with their uniqueness all our lives.
What a joy to be a parent and a grandparent!
