Reunited

A few weeks ago while we were at Nina and Michael's house, Evan did something that caught everybody by surprise. We were hanging out in the backyard and suddenly realized we haven't heard Evan for a while. I went to look for him inside the house, and after checking all the usual spots (behind doors, inside closets), I found him lying in the empty crib in Nina & Michael's master bedroom. I was shocked at first that he managed to climb up by himself, and then touched by the sight. This used to be the boys' crib, but Evan probably hadn't slept in it since he was 1. So it's almost impossible for him to remember, but he looked so comfortable and content in there, as if he knew this used to be his "happy place". Maybe it's the winnie the pooh crib bumper or feel of the mattress that felt familiar. We all gathered around and watched him roll around the crib for a while. He loved the attention, as usual.
