our little Solomander is so happy. tonight i laid him down in bed and laid down next to him (like usual. he laughed such a warmhearted laugh, like deep down inside. he kept laughing and i just could do nothing but laugh along with him. and this afternoon, i experimented with letting him fall asleep on his own. and i was on the computer in the next room. Well, i never heard him fall/climb out of bed, bounce off the ginormous turtle and then crawl over the turtle and stand on the other side of the bead curtain. all of a sudden he comes charging through the bead curtain, running with his arms outstretched, laughing loudly, so proud of himself for finding me. it was the cutest thing.
