"He who is brave is free"

Just a short, shameless bragging post tonight.

When I sent the boy to his room to get his pajamas on before coming to my room for a story before bed- I was a little surprised to see him bring not only a book, but his night-light as well. I figured the bulb had died, and I was franctically trying to remember if I had bought more. Instead, he surprised me by offering it to me and saying "I am ready to be brave in the dark"

I am very proud of him, and also sad. Yet another sign that I don't have my baby anymore. He no longer drags teddy bear along with him everywhere, he is beginning school in just over a month, and now he no longer needs his night light to sleep. My baby is turning into a little boy!

Somebody make it stop!
