When I watch Allie nap in the day or sleep at night through the babycams (there are 2 in her room), I often see orbs of light zoom around from one end of the frame to the other. I’ve thought about them being reflections of light or dust, but as for light, the orbs are there even at night when there’s no car driving by outside to cast light and her room’s dark, and as far as floating dust, they go way faster than any current in her room (judging by the lazy movement of a very air-sensitive Flensted mobile, “Elephant Party,” a gift from Dardy, hanging from the ceiling within view of one of the cameras), and they often change direction very suddenly. I’ve seen dust float by a camera and it does not move like these orbs.

I’d like to believe that we have physical ways of capturing the presence of spiritual beings, like light orbs on camera, but refracted light on a lens can give a similar image in still photography, so I don’t quite know the difference visually.

But it’s nice to think that while my little girl sleeps, angels protect her and keep her company.
