In their own little world

So often, I wish I could watch my girls as a bird peeking through the window. I wonder what they're like when I'm not around. When they're not needing me. What they think about. What sort of exchanges they have.

Such was the case yesterday morning when I went upstairs to get the girls and found this.



There's several things in the picture that make me curious. First, why is Big Sister in Little's bed. (for a moment, I couldn't even see Little Sis when I looked in!) Was Little awake when Big joined her? Was she crying? Was Big "taking care of" Little? Were they playing?

Second, usually they wake up before I get upstairs and play for a few minutes while I finish getting myself ready before I can focus on them. Rarely, in fact, almost never, are they asleep when I go up.

But they were. Both of them. So I have to wonder how long they were awake after Big joined Little. A few minutes? or did they play for an hour or so before crashing?

Such a precious moment that makes me consider installing cameras just so I can be in on it!!
