New habits!

Caleb has quit crying when I put him down for a nap, and sometimes stays in bed for up to ninety minutes. He doesn’t cry often when we put him to bed for the evening, either, and sometimes sleeps ten hours. It’s been a blessing like you wouldn’t believe, and all I could think was that God is extending such amazing grace to us with another non-sleeper coming into the house.

I just heard the way God is making this happen. Caleb is jumping in bed. Like a madman. I’ve seen him do it in the past when he wakes up and Jonathan and I have discussed whether we try to stop it or not. But he’s in there, giggling wildly, jumping like crazy and running through his repertoire of language. I guess we better take him back to Bounce. Or maybe not!

He’s also riding his tricycle! Jonathan bought it for him six months ago, and his feet didn’t even really reach the pedals. Now, not only does he love to push it around, but I caught him this morning pedaling backwards for the first time, and with a little encouragement, he even made a full revolution forwards! It won’t be long until I’ll feel comfortable taking “his bike” to the park and letting him ride around.

Life is good!
