While Jackson Was Sleeping
Posted in 2007, Uncategorized on Feb 15th, 2007
I just had to post this. Last night Jennifer and I were downstairs watching TV, when we heard Jackson over the monitor making upset noises. He wasn’t crying, but he was sounding irritated as if he couldn’t get comfortable.
Now, Jackeroo is not a quiet sleeper. We’ve learned to ignore a lot of his noises because in the past we’ve checked on him only to find he’s fast asleep. Last night, though, they went on for a long time. I finally went up when I heard a very loud breathing sound .. almost as if he’d gotten out of bed and fallen asleep right under the monitor. When I got up there and saw the position he’d worked himself into, I had to immediately call Jen and get the camera. Jackson had gotten himself turned sideways and, because there was noplace better to put his legs, propped his feet up on his bed railing. The loud breathing was him snoring, probably because his feet were up so high. Our digital camera does pretty well in the dark, so I got this picture. All I could see when I walked in was the white bottom of his footies staring at me. I took this pic to show more of the whole story. Jen and I couldn’t help it. We stood in his room and laughed as quietly as we could. Meanwhile, he just snored away with his legs propped way up high. He never did wake up … even when I turned him around the right way.
The poor boy. It’s actually kind of creepy to be photographed while you’re sleeping, and now I’m showing those photos to the world.
