Just Knows

My little man is pretty easy. That's not to say there are not tantrums, or running away when I need him, or wrestling to get him dressed but he knows when I just need a break. When I'm so tired and I just need things to go smoothly, to be easy. Tonight was one of those nights. Having worked a 14 hour day that needed at 3:30 in the morning I was just beat today. I still had to go into work this afternoon so by the time 6pm came around I had little energy. Daddy was at the new house getting a bit of work done so I had Declan to myself for the last hour before bed. 

He stepped up to his books and pointed "Boo-kin". 

At first I didn't know what he wanted having forgotten momentarily that "Boo-kin" means pumpkin and he wants the Halloween book. I remembered just before he freaked out. Then he cuddled down beside me and we looked through his book. Perfect. A little closer to bedtime and he had some bottle while I got him changed into his pjs. He then stayed cuddled in my lap while he played on his leap pad computer until 7pm when he stood up, gathered up his monkey, Pooh Bear and bunny/bear and walked off to his room. He must have been tired too. So fuss, just off to bed.

He just knows when I need a break, and some cuddles from my little man.
