She did it!

The baby told me she wanted to sleep in Rowan's room. I tried to talk her out of it.

"Baby, you never sleep the whole night. You wake up crying."

"I not going to cry anymore, Mommy," she insisted.

"Baby?"

She shook her head vehemently. "I not going to cry anymore."

"Okay."

She and Rowan jumped for joy.

Bedtime came, I put them to sleep and left out the room- - suspicious.

Around 5AM, I heard a piercing cry. Baby's up. She was calling for me. Looking for me. I laid in bed wondering if I should let her come to me or if I should go get her. A few minutes later, I heard silence. My baby is growing up, she let Oma comfort her. Usually even Oma can't hold her when she wakes up without me.

So for the first time ever, my baby slept a whole night without me.

And I'm getting older too
