Entwined

Huck and Rilla are next to me on the sofa—it’s just past dawn here, and Sesame Street is on—a tangle of limbs and hair. Grabbing each other’s faces and shouting “Eee! Oh!” at each other, for no particular reason. This is one of my favorite sights in the world: small children rolling around like puppies. In my first La Leche League group when Jane was a baby, all the moms would sit in a circle with the babies tumbled on the floor in the middle. They were like lobsters in a tank—an inelegant simile, I know, but that’s what they always made me think of, including the wanting to eat them all up.

Such sweet pictures. We often end up with a tangle of puppies in our bed around dawn–the 2 yo, the 4 yo, and the 6 yo. Wonderful for me. (Not so much for my husband who usually heads downstairs because the knees and elbows tend to bump him first.)
