Elliot discovers the spy cam
So Monday morning was just a perfect spring day and it was also grocery day. We usually go shopping in the afternoon after First Nap and Lunch, but the morning was so beautiful we just had to go out. So after Breakfast we got ready to go and had a great trip to Meijer, although I did have to bribe Elliot with a few Cheerios in the checkout line since it was just before First Nap. Elliot immediately fell asleep as we pulled out of the parking space and when we got home I thought I would chance it and see if we could transfer from car seat to crib. Of course, Elliot did wake up but was still drowsy and snuggly so I carried him up and put him down in the crib to see if he would go back to sleep. He has been doing well at that at night but it’s harder during the day when he can see everything. After laying him down, he stayed there and was still awake but he didn’t fuss when I walked away and closed the door. So I proceeded to pat myself on the back for having such a wonderful, secure son and went down to unpack the groceries.
A few minutes later, it was still quiet so I just had to check the baby cam to see if Elliot had indeed fallen asleep! No. But he wasn’t crying so we are making progress. He was actually keeping himself quite occupied walking back and forth in his crib and pushing the buttons on his musical turtle. I kept putting groceries away and thought I would do a few other quick things as long as Elliot was happy. Well, I checked on him again a few minutes later and I thought the baby monitor was having a seizure or something because the picture was shaking. Then I caught a glimpse of Elliot in the screen, staring at me through the camera while yanking on the cord! He was having a blast, completely oblivious to the fact that he just discovered the little spy cam that has been watching over him for the past 14 months.
