Last night about an hour after Jay was supposed to be asleep, I heard his door open. I was in bed reading. Out of the corner of my eye I could see our door move slightly. I decided to see what Jay would do and just wait him out. A minute later, he sticks his arm thru the door opening and holds it out extended. Wait, wait. I look up from my book and raise my head to see what he's doing. He sees me looking towards him and steps into the room. I don't tell him to go back to bed. He starts smiling and runs over to me, excited to be allowed in and not sent back to bed. I lift him up and bring him into bed. How could I resist that smile?

Cymbals

The train table at the library is "awesome" according to Jay! Here he is smiling as his train (with orange wheels) goes down the hill.

Nick is keeping Jay warm after a bath with a cuddle.

Laundry and counting

Jay is helping me with the laundry by finding all the socks and putting them in a pile. I asked him if he could count them all and he got all the way up to thirteen! Then he started back over at one.

Nap

He fell asleep on me while I was sitting on the love seat. He came up for a cuddle and then he was out. I was able to slide him off of me and he slept for about an hour this morning.

Wake up!

Jay was trying to wake me up this morning by singing,"Mama, wake uuup, wake uuup." It was the perfect sing-songy tone that we use with him.
