Night Things

Last night we sent Walker to bed. It had been a long day for him and we fully anticipated him falling directly to sleep. Mandy was watching TV and I was talking on the phone. After I got off of the phone, Walker was being very quiet, except for an occasional cough. I knew he was still awake because his light was still on and occasionally I would hear clinks and bumps and scoots. I didn't know what he might be up to. Usually when it is late and he is being quiet, he is usually making huge messes. I opened the door and saw him sitting on his knees on his bed hovered over something that he seemed to be piecing together on his bed. I could see that he was just finishing. He had taken toys from his bed and spelled out a word he had just learned to spell.
