The boy teased us last night. Wes slept for 8 hours in a row. Without a peep. 8 HOURS! Dan and I were shocked. Maybe it was all the sleep that confused our brains…
But when he did wake up at 4 am, it was followed by a terrible coughing fit for the next 45 minutes. Poor little dude. Thankfully for all of us, he fell back to sleep soon after and was happy as can be when he woke up for the day.
I know that Wes won’t always wake up at all hours. Eventually, and maybe even soon, he won’t need me in the middle of the night anymore. And although I welcome the sleep/the disappearance of the zombie eyes I’ve been sporting for the past 6 months that comes with that, I know I’ll miss those quiet moments that are just ours.
Don’t grow up too fast, Wesley.
