The Kitchen is Closed

Caleb woke up this morning at 5:00. I was already awake and in my office reading. Yeah, I know. I’m crazy. What’s crazier is that I still got 8 hours of sleep. So where was I? Oh yeah, at 5 a.m Caleb thought it was time to get up. Since it sounded like he was playing a game tackle football in his bed, I decided to go in there and calm him back to sleep. Caleb figured, “Hmmm, since Dada’s here, and I’m awake now, why not eat?” So when I picked him up and walked to the rocking chair, he started doing his eat sign along with saying, “eat, eat, eat.” Apparently just doing one or the other wouldn’t be enough. “I’ve gotta do both to really get his attention,” he must have reasoned. After a couple books he was calm. I put him back in bed, and he fell back asleep. That was an hour and a half ago, and he’s still asleep. I felt horrible denying my son food…but he learned that Caleb can’t always get what he wants, and I learned that there is nothing better than rocking him to sleep.
