Tonight putting Elliot to bed...

...I put him down when he was still a little bit awake, maybe a little more awake than usual. When I tried to close the door, it got stuck a little on something, so I had to open the door back up, and I noticed that Elliot had turned his head to look at the door--maybe he heard it try and close. And he was looking at where I was, and when I stuck my head in the door a little further to look at him, he gave me the happiest, most peaceful smile.

I know I just said that I wasn't really in to co-sleeping. But I tell you: all I wanted to do right then was climb right into his bassinet and let him snuggle us both to sleep.
