just too good

do you have a thing that is just too good?
a thing that you take for granted?

i do.

 

it is putting him to bed.

 

after bo christian was a couple of months old,

he didn't want to be rocked or nursed to sleep anymore.

he just wanted to be laid in his bed.

you could say i was extremely upset about this.

but, i followed his lead like i have done with all my babies.

 

now, i just give him his passy and blankie and tell him how much Jesus loves him.

sometimes he is throwing his blankies in his bed before i am finished.

and sometimes he is even diving from my arms into his bed.

 

he usually sings and talks to himself for a while.

and he never cries unless he is over tired.

 

every once in a while when i ask if he is ready to go night-night,

he will shake his head no.

i will wait a few minutes and ask again and then it will be time.

 

we really hit the jack-pot with this little too good thing.
