Now for some Caeleb time. On Monday afternoon, I was out on pass for a few hours and Caeleb and I spent some of that time playing with his blocks. We would make towers and then watch as they came crashing down. At 7:30 pm it was time for me to get back to the hospital. I told Caeleb that "Mommy needs to leave now," and he said, "No"! He then started to build another block tower so I helped him build it. After playing for a few more minutes, the tower came crashing to the ground and Caeleb said to me, "Bye Bye." He was telling me that it was okay that I go. No fusses or saddness. I know that sometimes he asks for me but he is such a brave little boy and is so easy going. He just goes with the flow and keeps his positive little attitute.
Chris told me something funny this morning. He has been putting Caeleb to bed on the futon in Caeleb's room because Caeleb does not seem to like his crib these days. Well, Caeleb has never been the greatest sleeper and he usually wakes up at least once during the night time. Last night, Caeleb slept the whole night, with no interruptions, on the futon. Chris woke up this morning and, seeing Caeleb still asleep, decided to hop in the shower. At the end of his shower, he heard a little voice outside the bathroom door. "Knock Knock," Caeleb said, "All done." He was telling Daddy that he was all done his sleep. So cute!!
This reminds me of another night Chris told me about. About a week ago, Chris put Caeleb to sleep on the futon. In the middle of the night, Caeleb woke up like he usually does. This time, however, instead of crying out for one of us to come and get him, he simply got up, walked to our room and climbed into bed with Daddy. He snuggled up with his Daddy and fell back to sleep. I remember when I was little, if I had a nightmare, I would go downstairs and climb into bed with Mommy and Daddy. That always made everything all better.
