Last night I went through the usual bedtime routine with my little darling, but after about 5 minutes, I heard the saddest sobbing coming from his bedroom. After giving him a couple of minutes to calm himself down, I went in there to ask him what was wrong. He reached for me from his crib kind of anxiously. I told him that I would give him a kiss and hug if he wanted, but that it was bedtime and I was not going to pick him up. He seemed to understand and with his little lip quivering in the saddest little way (seriously, I'm about to cry just thinking about it!), he said simply, "yeah." As I reached him, he stretched his little lips up to me as tall as he could and as soon as I gave him a kiss, expressed his happiness and relief and immediately put himself to bed without another peep. Apparently, he thought that I'd forgotten his night-night kiss and just couldn't be happy without it!
Pics from Minnesota...
The cutest fisherman on the lake!
Learning the finer points of sand castle-making from his beloved Aunt "Mana"...
"You can add water to it?!? What a GREAT idea!"
Did I mention he LOVES playing in the dirt?
And his Aunt S'mana...
And SLIDES!
But is not a big fan of being in the boat...
Mommy's li'l landlubber!
Fake smiles...He's sick of the camera at this point. I don't know why - I only took about 400 pictures at this point...
"But I'm not tired!"
