little tornado in the bed

this week one of my closest friends, farida, was in town with her 7-month old son, saifuddin. she slept over from tuesday to thursday, and taher graciously gave up the bed and slept in the living room so that farida and i could share the bed and whisper all night.

saifuddin slept between us, and yesterday morning he woke us by crawling around the bed with "let's play! why are you trying to sleep? don't you want to JUMP?" types of gestures.

it was awesome.

he has the best baby-smile ever, this kid. it's huge and joyous and it can persuade you to give up sleep in favor of playing! and rolling! and making silly noises!
