Camera eyeballs

You know how as technology gets smaller and smaller, more portable and more "smart," you ask yourself when people will start embedding telephones into their ears or computer screens into their reading glasses? (OK, maybe I just wonder this. Kind of cautionary look into the future, no? I am so ahead of my time.) This morning I wished, just for a second, that I had a camera in my eyeball so I could take a picture of the adorableness laid in front of me without having to rush to get a camera or worry about light or exposure or anything else.



Let me set the scene:



My adorable child, the one I love more than Necco wafers and Diet Coke combined, was still asleep when it was time to get up and go to daycare. Normally we don't wake her up. She wakes and starts squaking from the other room, saying "hi!" over and over until someone comes and gets her. But this morning, we had to wake her, so I opened the bedroom door, peered in, and saw her in the funniest sleeping position I have ever seen. Her face was smooshed between the mattress and the crib slats, pressing against a waffle-fabric blanket. Her butt was up in the air with her knees tucked underneath. Her arms where splayed out behind and under her body. Basically, all her body weight was resting on her collar bone. How can a person sleep like this?!



I wished I could have just push a button on my temple, blinked my eyes really fast and taken a picture. It was such a funny pose. When I went to wake her up, I rubbed her back and she flipped over and stretched out as if to say, "Oh no! I have been caught! Um...uh...no, I've been sleeping soundly on my back all night! Leave me, woman!"



Thankfully, she woke up happy, with the worst case of blanket-face I've ever seen.



Such a funny baby.

If you were Samantha from "Bewitched" you could just crinkle your nose and take a picture with your eyeballs. Alas, you are not a witch.
