Prime Real Estate

I have always been amazed at how a 2-year-old's little body can take up an ENTIRE queen bed. When ours sleeps with us, I wake up clinging to 2 1/2 inches of mattress. I hang precariously over the edge, and one wrong move will land me on the floor where the Stegosaurus figure he had in his hand when he crawled into our bed waits for me like a death trap. Last night,I finally witness his artistry as I walked into my bedroom to discover our stowaway.

Notice the arm extension and the angle of the body creating the maximum distance. Really, I can only give this position a 8.0. It would have been a 10.0, but as you can see, he didn't have full big-toe extension for maximum length. Also, the right arm could have been a little straighter. He's done better..

Ha ha - Photographic evidence! That's pretty impressive - he definitely gets some good coverage considering he's still a little guy. I can totally picture you in the tiny space left on the side teetering between life and death.

Yah...he could have done better. That right arm could have covered way more surface area. R can come over and give him some pointers later. :o) What a great picture!
