I think by now Hudson and Connor have repeated enough times that they do not want pictures to be taken that we are all aware, yet the stalking continues.

i think i've posted this before, but ilya truly does deserve an award for his patience after getting woken up at fuck o'clock at the cottage for a five year plan strategy session when he was in the middle of a rem cycle.

this does make me think that if they have kids, ilya is going to be the default parent getting woken up for "i frew up"

this also does mean that shane rarely wakes up in a bed with the same number of people it had when he fell asleep

awww, also feeling very Soft about the idea of shane taking over when he clocks in for his shift

and shane CAN be partially roused, but his one move running on sleep brain is "c'mere" and now VERY strong daddy is holding you and you are NOT getting free until morning, which is not always a solution to a problem, which means ilya has 100% had to negotiate the release of a captive child from his husband's hold after papa has been woken for intercession because being squeezed is NOT a fix for "i frew up"

laughing and also awwww about ilya being lowkey kind of sad when the kiddos are old enough that they don't really wake him up at night anymore. like probably better for his health that he now gets full nights of sleeping without interruption, but i am feeling very soft imagining him being a lil sad to not be having "up at 2 am rocking an itty bitty back to sleep" or "curling up around one of their babies at 4 am in a tiny bed and telling them a story until they get sleepy again" time. at the time exhausting, but also very fulfilling and also a tangible sign that he's doing better than his father did. like HE would have NEVER considered waking his father at ANY age, so yeah tiny hands tapping his face late at night are bad for being rested but very good for knowing his children understand they can ALWAYS come get him when they need him. like yeah not great that their child figures out how to escape artist their crib (he blames shane and shane blames him for creating an acrobatbaby), but it does mean waking up to lil babby trying to climb the sheets to come cuddle, and even if it means his sleep being disrupted, handing off their child to shane to "c'mere" hold so ilya can wrap his arms around all of them and hold his family all at once is very peaceful, and he's more than a little sad for it to stop.
