william takes step one

i thought william's comment would make a good post so i am pasting it in.
------------------------

Another chapter in Thomas-ville has passed. Each evening we've been falling asleep together (me in his room) for almost a year now. I used to use this time to chat with him and recite the alphabets or numbers. It was nice and consistent.

These days, after being in the dark for about 20 minutes, I'd get up and tell him I'll be outside the den reading a book and asks him if he wants the door open/closed. He usually says closed and proceeds to turn his head away. After that, he's out in 15-30 minutes.

So sadly, he no longer wants me in the room anymore and I no longer have to be "held down" until 9:30pm or 10:00pm.

All that fearing/paranoia about Thomas not being able to detach himself from me having to be in the same room went away within a day, kind of like how Sara decided one day the binky is no longer hip.

I tell ya, they'll U-turn on a dime so enjoy whatever silly things they might be doing now because next month it could be all over and you'd have to rely on memory (or videos)...

now i need to get william out of thomas' bed. somehow convince william that he doesn't need to sleep there AAAaaaall night. it would be nice to have someone back in my bed :)
