A Very Snugly Lewis

As I mentioned, Lewis has been sleeping better in his twin bed. Overnight is great. Naps are struggling again since I said how great they're going (go figure), but he's getting better at just laying quietly or playing quietly in his room with his books. He actually really likes to lay down and snuggle lately, which is nice. We will snuggle on his bed or on the couch, and he likes to lay out pillows for us 'just so' and gets 4-5 blankets for us to cover up with. I'm not sure when/where he picked up the whole 'sleeping under the covers' thing because we've always just put him in his pajamas and laid him on top of a sheet. Now he has sheets and a Thomas blanket on his bed, so I guess he figured out that's how Mama and Dada sleep. He gets very insistent now--'under covers!'

Some of his other sleep-related demands lately are:

• Lay down.
• Mama (or Dada) lay down.
• Under covers.
• Pillows!
• Mama and Lewis Pete lay down under covers. (Followed up with a YAY! when we are successfully under the covers.)
• Mama, Lightning McQueen pillow or Mama, car pillow (telling me which one to lay my head on).

This morning we were laying in his bed, switching pillows around and he said:

• Peter lay down!?
• Hattie lay down!?

Like it was the greatest idea he'd ever had. :) He ran out of his room with both pillows and found the dogs in our room.

Peter was a good sport, of course:

What are you doing up here in my safe space, child?

 Oh, now that you mention it, I am a little tired. 

 Aww, Peter Dink.

 Best buddies. :)

Aaaaaand this is what happened when he tried to snuggle Hattie. She grumbled, pillows fell to the floor, and she very quickly got out of his way. :)
