On your own

We were concern about you sleeping on your own for the first time after 3 years. We had to spend overnight at the hospital last Friday when I went in for my thyroid surgery. The hospital doesn't allow kids under 5 years old to hang around in the area because of the H1N1 epidemic. Thankfully, your auntie Diane and your cousins were at our house. Your Auntie Diane was able to put you to bed successfully that night. She said you were crying a little bit but then you fell asleep as she started singing for you. You have grown up! Little by little... but it's a big leap of maturity for you to be able to sleep through the night without mommy and daddy. Your daddy and I are so proud of you, girl.
