Last night, while Joseph was getting ready for bed, he told me that the previous ngiht, he turned off his bedside lamp by himself and went to sleep in total darkness.
His reason? “I guess I’m growing up.”
This is a big step for him as he’s slept with that light on since we redid his bedroom the summer after kindergarten. It’s a touch lamp with three settings and he’s always turned it up to the highest setting and complained about it when the light was off.
He didn’t even like curling up in Daddy’s spot in our bed if I was there, because I have no lights on when I go to bed.
So, I guess he really is growing up. That’s sad. My firstborn isn’t a baby anymore.
