Last night around 3:30 a.m., Caleb was crying in his sleep which he doesn’t normally do. After a few minutes when it seemed to escalate, I went in to check on him. He was laying down and crying but didn’t really seem to be awake. I touched his small back and he jumped to a sit. I picked him up and he laid his head on my shoulder and calmed. After a minute or so, he said,”wuv you”, and I said “I love you Caleb.” He then said, “ok” and I proceeded to tuck him back into bed. He was calm for a little while and then fussed some more. Geoffrey took him downstairs, got him a drink, read him a story and then he went back to sleep. I wonder if he had a bad dream or something that caused him to need a little love in the night, but he sure was sweet.
