To Sleep or not to sleep. That is the question

Would you jeopardize your child's sleep by taking a picture, with the flash, of this??

Apparently I would.  

Do I need to explain this picture?  I guess I should but it has to be quick. I don't think he will stay asleep like this for long.  Tyler has been sick and I've been holding him a lot more than normal. Well, I guess that's not completely possible!  So, what I mean is Tyler has been sick so I've been holding him a lot during his naps and at night he has been sleeping on my chest.  (He has slept so well like that considering)  I'm not sure if he is still feeling sick.  He has/had (I don't know) a full blown ear infection and I'm not sure how long it takes for that to go away.  Anyway, he is still pretty fussy at times which is NOT normal so I assume he is still feeling a little sick.  Anyway, I tried to put him down and it didn't work; he woke right up and cried right away.  When I put my head next to his to see if I could get him to fall back to sleep before picking him up he immediately stopped crying.  A light bulb turned on in my head and I got this idea.  That idea turned into me HAVING to take a picture because it worked!  He slept with a bear on his head and at his side.  Who knows for how long he will sleep like that but whatever, it worked! AHHH he wakes.  I knew it won't last long but it was funny nonetheless.  Off to help my little man!
