Morning Kicks

Getting Declan out of the house in the morning gets a little more challenging now that he can do so much. This morning we had to kick the soccer ball around for a bit before Declan would cooperate and change out of his pjs. Kicking a soccer ball in footie pajamas is adorable.

To help keep Declan from taking off into the other room to his toys I keep all the lights off. Other than his room, our room and the path outside there are no lights on. This morning for the first time ever I watched as Declan slowly grew afraid of the darkness. He wouldn't look towards the kitchen area, he lifted his hand to cover the side of his face and then finally turned into me and wouldn't look back. I told him there was nothing to be afraid of but we then followed the light and moved to a well lit area to finish putting on his jacket. Poor guy.
