Elena Sneaking into Alex's Room to Sleep

Ever since Elena started sleeping in her big girl bed, she has had trouble falling asleep on her own. When she thinks the coast is clear, she creeps out of her room and into Alex's. She often just falls asleep on his floor, or right outside his room. Despite repeated attempts to help her get comfortable in her own bed, including having Jeff read outside her room three nights in a row to reassure her, she would still prefer to be with her big brother. On the night this photo was taken, Elena finally fell asleep in her own bed, but must have woken up at some point and crawled back into Alex's bed. I took this photo at 1:30am, after staying up late to finish up a St. Vincent project one evening. They just looked too peaceful to move.
