Eli loves to play with mommy and daddy in our king size bed. He finds his treasures right away, the hand held baby monitor and my chap stick, and starts rolling around holding onto both treasures. I have had to hide the monitor as of late because he has a good arm on him and has busted my lip a few times swinging it around. My favorite times are right before bed when we are trying to calm him down and he just seems to get more worked up, it is fun to watch. Although he is worked up he tends to go right to sleep when we do put him down, I think due to the fact he has used all his energy up.
Yesterday Eli and I went in to wake daddy up for church (Eli had been up for a few hours at this point). When I opened our door Eli let out a squeal and headed for the bed. He stands by the bed with his hands up, repeating dada, dada, dada. Daddy, not fully awake just looks over the edge at Eli. This makes Eli laugh and fall down. After we are all in bed, Eli with his treasure of chap stick (the monitor is safely hidden), Eli stands up and jumps on daddy. This happens over and over until daddy gets up to get ready. Eli starts crying because his playmate left him (I'm not as cool as daddy).
Although I love watching Eli play in our bed I miss those times when I could bring him in to bed with me at 6:00am and we could both sleep a little longer. Now Eli thinks that the "big" bed is for playing in, not sleeping!! Oh, well....
I love that we can spend hours just watching Eli and laughing. It is good for my heart.
