My child is amazing

I'm pretty sure all children are amazing, but I just had one of those moments that makes me love my life even more.

Duncan was acting fussy, so I decided to put him down for a nap (sometimes he still takes 2 naps). I took him upstairs and laid him down and he screamed ... a sad scream. He will usually calm down after less than 5 minutes, so I came back downstairs. Well, he didn't calm down, so I went back up and picked him up and we sat down together in the glider. He held his baby and he laid his head against me and we just rocked. I asked him if he was sleepy and he nodded his head. We sat there for probably 5 minutes and he pointed to his crib. I asked him if he was ready to go to sleep, and he nodded his head again. I laid him down, told him I loved him, and he rolled over with his baby and went to sleep.

It just doesn't get any better than that.

In other news, the in-laws are coming over for dinner tonight and I still have no idea what to make!

Rock on, Duncan! Can he please teach Sarah Grace how to do that? She still requires an hour of patting, snuggling, etc. to fall asleep (not that I always mind but sometimes the routine is long and exhausting.)
