Sweet Daryl

Daryl can be very sweet at times. Just now, he did something which really warms my heart.

I was trying to make him sleep just now without much success. Fed up, I laid down beside him, closed my eyes & pretended to be asleep already. I was hoping that he would finally stopped rolling all over the bed & decide to sleep. He tried to 'wake' me up a couple of times by patting my face, calling me, shaking me, etc. However, I refused to answer him. After a few tries, he gave up & laid down beside me to sleep. But before he settled down to sleep, he did something very, very sweet! He faced me, patted my cheek & head & smoothed my hair. He did this not once but twice!

The thing is, I always do these actions to him when I try to make him sleep or when he has just fallen asleep. I didn't know that he would 'remember' these actions & repeated them to me. This shows how good kids are in remembering stuff. When he did that to me, it warms my heart so much!

I told Kel about what Daryl did when he came to bed later. Kel's reply is that Daryl really loves me, so I should try to be more patient with him especially when he misbehaves. Well, let's see whether I can still remember what Kel said when Daryl drives me up the wall. :p
