Night-night

Eli couldn't sleep for his morning nap. He kept coughing -- the last symptom of his cold last week.

So I tried to put him down a bit early for his second nap. He was a little wired, crawling all over me and reaching for the curtains behind me. And when I put him in his crib, he just screamed and had these huge crocodile tears streaming down his face. I started singing to him and I offered him his bottle, which calmed him down. And after taking a few sucks, he pushedhis bottle away and waved bye-bye to me. As in, "OK mama, get out now. I need to get some sleep." I was in the middle of a song! It was the first time ever, I believe, that he asked me to leave his room for his nap!!!
