I couldn't have planned this if I tried

Nick woke up around 4:45am this morning, and thought it would be a good idea to run his sippy cup of water along the slats of his crib like an inmate singing the blues.  Totally irritating when you're trying to sleep. 

Todd had already gotten up for work and was downstairs in the shower (yes, he has to shower in the basement bathroom these days while our master bath is torn apart for the re-do, but that's an entirely separate post for another day), so I did what I thought was the most logical solution -- hopped out of bed, stumbled towards Nick's room, grabbed him out of his crib, and brought him back to our room for snuggles (and the hope that he would go back to sleep for a couple of hours).

When I woke up to my alarm two hours later, I looked over to see this:

Sweetest thing ever.  Nose-to-nose.  Little arms intertwined.  My heart?  Exploded.

Not sure I could love these two more.
