opa went to "eye-gee-ah"

opa went on a trip to nigeria with DMI. he was gone nearly three weeks. we've been counting down the days till he gets back. last night was the night! dominic was soooo tired at bedtime due to no-nap, getting-a-cold, and playing-like-a-kid. but after an hour he was still making a racket in bed!

i finally went in there and his bed was a wreck. he had almost pulled the fitted sheet off. i told him that opa wouldn't come if he didn't go to sleep. this made him cry a little. then i promised him that opa would wake him up when he came. he went straight to sleep after that.

an hour later, opa came and tried to wake dominic... impossible! the child could not be woken!

but first thing this morning he asked where opa was. mathias said he thought opa would be upstairs.

"ok!" dominic said and promptly turned around and trotted upstairs to find him. (normally, he won't even go to the living room by himself first thing in the morning.)
