A Beautiful Compromise

Two weeks of sickness and travel have made Nathan forget that he has to sleep in his own bed. Tonight he would not calm down and proceeded to scream for all told over an hour (if you add up all the the different times we tried to just let him cry himself to sleep). He refused to go to sleep without his mommy and I refused to let him sleep anywhere other than his own bed. This was our compromise.

There aren't many beds that are too short for my sweet wife, but this is one of them. She folded herself up in his little bed and after they posed for a picture it took him all of two minutes to go to sleep.

It was a very beautiful sight for me. Meredith became like Jesus for our little boy tonight. There were rules that couldn't be broken. He couldn't come and be with us, so she chose to be with him. It was a magical moment.
