This Is Perfect, Mom

I had one of those magical moments with Gabe this afternoon.  He woke up really early from his nap and crying, so I went up to his room to get him to go back to sleep. 

Back story:  I wasn't home to put him down for his nap since J gave me the morning off; so, he might have been surprised to see me.  And, lately he's been waking up scared, saying that his room is too big.  Not sure what it's all about...

Anyway, I went to his room, told him that it was still nap time, and I rubbed his back, encouraging him to fall back to sleep.  He was still crying and not settling down, so I climbed into bed with him, hoping that lying down next to him would help.  I rubbed his back and held him and thought that he was falling back to sleep.  All of a sudden, he picked his head up, turned back to look at me and said, "This is perfect, Mom.  Thanks for coming to my house.  My room is getting smaller."  And then he put his head back down and pretended to sleep for a bit longer.

He is just so sweet.
