In all the cuteness of yesterdays post, I forgot to tell you a super cute story! I occasionally make notes if I have a super loaded day and want to remember certain details, but clearly, I didn’t yesterday. However, lucky for me, we had a repeat event!
Nap time. I’m trying to put the kids down together, and have had a nice number of successes in a row. They go down together at 2:30 or 3:00 in the afternoon. The last two days, Laela has slept for two hours solidly before bursting into tears. I keep hoping she’ll fall back to sleep, but she doesn’t. I’m hesitant to go in to get her, because I can tell on our monitor that Dekker is still tired.
So today (and yesterday, but I’m going with today) I gave in and ducked into their room around 5:10 to fetch Laela. Dekker sat up and said in his usual polite voice “Hello mummy.” “Hello, Dekker” I replied quietly. I walked over to the beds and asked if Laela was sad. “Ya…” said my glazed boy who was laying backwards in his bed. I picked her up, and he seemed to be watching like a hawk. Yet, he didn’t try to get up. Finally, I asked him “Would you like to sleep a little more?”
“Ummm…ya.”
Dekker squirmed back to his original spot and flopped his head back on his pillow. “Bu-bye.”
Isn’t that awesome?! Two days in a row!!! He doesn’t immediately try to get out of bed, or get all revved up about me taking Laela and not him. He knows himself and what he needs. I love that boy.
Thats all I cute I have for you today. I’m sure more will be coming this weekend! My best friend, Jessica… Bestica. Yup. My Bestica is coming out tomorrow so I’ll have lots to talk about 🙂 On that note, early to bed! Ok, ok, early to bath…
Ya, that is a super cute story!! Wow, so precious!! Makes your heart melt for them!!:)
