Watchful eye (and ear)

Although I usually sit with Isaac until he falls asleep, I've recently begun leaving the room while he's still awake. I wait until he's drowsy and content and doesn't seem to need a lot of input from me. Then I tell him I'm going to get a drink of water or see what Craig is doing.

Tonight as I left the room, I heard Isaac say to himself, "Now there's no one to keep an eye on you."

As if, kid. As if.

Tonight it didn't work. We could tell from listening to the baby monitor that Isaac stayed quiet after I left the room, so we figured he had fallen asleep, but five minutes later he suddenly began calling for me and Craig. He sounded upset.

When Craig went to him, Isaac said, "You listened through baby monitor! I said 'Daddy come' and Daddy came!"

And he was happily, securely asleep about six minutes later.
