With Davy coming into the world so soon now (Dear God please let it be soon now), we’re starting to think about getting Robin into a bed of his own. I’m afraid you can’t see it very well under all the bedding, but the frame was carved by Robin’s Pappy, and Sam slept in it himself as a boy. It’s a lovely piece of family history that we’re delighted to have for Robin. We’ve set it up, for now, in the little area off the master bedroom that doubles as my office: we’ll move it into the boys’ room later, once Robin has fully transitioned into sleeping alone.

When I laid Robin down for his nap, his head was on the pillow. By the time I came back to snap this photo he’d twisted around into the pillbug position you see here.
