I am not sure when it started, but my little boy wants to "sleep" every night, right before he goes to bed.
After he puts on his pj"s, he tells me: "go sleep, please".
We either lay down on the carpet, or sit/lay in the chair in his room. I lay down, and he lays on top of me, either tucking in his arms, or hugging me tight. He makes a conscious effort to fall asleep, and most nights I end up carrying him over to his bed, covering him with his little blanket.
They are the most precious, incredibly sweet moments.
I don't think I have ever been more uncomfortable.
I know I have never been happier than during those very uncomfortable moments.
Okay, baby. Let's sleep.

I am so blessed
It was at 9:15pm a few nights ago that I was finally able to sit down and relax for a few minutes.
Very early that morning I had read a blog post by Simple Mom about making a conscious effort to listen, to be patient with your children that day.
As I reflected on my long, long day, I realized I had done a really good job being patient with my children. Some moments it did take some effort and I am totally spent, but also so fortunate, so blessed.
Ms. S. came by today to pick up the toy storage. We got to spend a wonderful 30 minutes of visiting, of talking about cancer, genetic testing and double mastectomies, and about making plans to see Turbo and go ziplining. Who knew this would happen when I put the toy storage organizer on Craigslist to be sold! God knew, and I thank Him for it. It was a great day, and I thank Him for that too.

Pipad, okay? Okay!
My son has taken to asking himself a question, then answering himself right away.
And even though lately he started saying 'hipad' instead of 'pipad', he is still answering his own questions.
He then proceeds to execute, whether it means getting the ipad, turning on Signing Time, or getting 'chip' from the cabinet. He would also get cheese (string cheese is his absolute favorite treat) himself if only he could open the fridge by himself. Thankfully he is not able to do that yet. Who knows for how long, though? Once he can get into the fridge, I will REALLY need to keep track of that little guy!
