New Digs

A week and a half ago, Jacob moved into his big boy bed. He has done very well, right from the start. This is a picture of nap time, when he insists on having a book with him. He'd also like a book at night, but I tell him that you can't read in the dark. He's skeptical. (By the way, the book he's reading is The Good Samaritan/The Prodigal Son.)

We rearranged the room so that we would only have to use one guard rail. Down came all the breakable things off the adjacent walls that were in reach. Away went all the things on the dresser - except the book you see there is a 365 Bible stories book for children that Aunt Elizabeth actually got for Caleb's baptism. We read a story out of it every night, and Jacob has quietly listened to me read about the desolate world before creation, the vast universe God created, Adam and Eve's downcast eyes, their wearisome work, sullen Cain, the torrential downpour and the ark's being buffeted by the wind, and the open air altar Noah made afterwards.

I'm sorry, for whom was this book written again? :)

Caleb has been in the crib for a week. He has done extremely well, and I've only had to go in there to put the pacifier back in his mouth - two nights ago I didn't have to go in there at all! What a relief this is, since I start back to school in another week's time! Hopefully we will all still be able to get quality sleep!
