He doesn't need me anymore???

At about 2 am on Friday morning Son Two started crying. Usually I let it go because he goes back to sleep quicker that way. However, due to earlier tummy troubles I decided to pay him a visit and make sure that he was OK. Turns out he was not. So, I got him up, treated the diaper rash, and put all of his clothes back on. While the hubby was holding him he noticed that he felt a little warm so he was also given some Advil. So, after all of this, I become quite certain that he is not going to go back to his bed willingly. I take him to bed with me while the hubby takes out the diaper and for some reason Son Two just isn't having it. He wanted the blanket on him and then he didn't. He want my pillow and then he didn't. He just could not get comfortable. So, I turn him over and ask him if he wants to go back to his bed. To my surprise he points to the door and says"Yes". Stunned (because Son One would have never done this) I ask again and get the same answer! After I get over the shock that my 19 month old would rather sleep in his own bed then to snuggle with me, I take him to his room, tuck him in, and he settles down instantly. That was my cue to leave and so I did. He didn't make a peep until 8!

He appears to be feeling much better this morning (other then the diaper rash), so that makes me happy. It just seems that the kids are growing up way too fast, which does not make me happy. Son Two started going down in his bed, awake, several months ago (big achievement, trust me). Son One starts preschool next week (meet the teacher was on Thursday night). Baby K will be born soon (down to single digit weeks). Seriously, how much growing up can a mom take??? Just kidding! I think it's great that the boys  and Baby K are doing so well. At the end of the day it makes me feel like we are doing something right with them. And really, what more can you ask for? :-)
