Garrett has quit taking naps during the day unless I really need him to. Sometimes when I am really tired I take a short nap when I put the other three kids down. Garrett is so grown up and so responsible, so I can totally trust him to play quietly on the computer or watch a movie while I am down. He knows not to wake me unless it is really important. So the other day when I was napping I woke up to find that Garrett obviously got tired too, and instead of coming in to cuddle with me (like he usually does), he got a pillow and a blanket and laid down on the couch all by himself. When I came out of my room and saw this I almost started to cry. My baby is really growing up and becoming so independent. I am so proud of him and the example he is to all his younger siblings. He is not needing me as much anymore and in ways that is good. I realized that this is what is supposed to happen, but I'm not sure I am ready for it. Time goes way to quickly....Cherish the moments!
