Today at nap time Nels didn’t want to go to sleep because of how sick he was. Things were quiet for about an hour but he started screaming and didn’t stop. This behavior is not like him so I went in after he’d been wailing for about 15 minutes, after I was sure he wouldn’t settle down, because I didn’t want him to wake Solvei (if she was asleep at all). He was sitting up in bed looking very pitiful and I was sure he hadn’t slept at all.
I got him to lay back down but he was so sad, every time I would go to leave the room, his face would scrunch, his bottom lip would tremble and his eyes would tear-up. So I stayed with him for a few minutes until he was fully calmed down and fighting sleep with all he could. He was still sad when I would try to leave, so I got him his teddy bear to cuddle and he was okay after that.
After he finally went to sleep, I went back in to get Solvei, since she was now awake and I didn’t want her to wake him. This is how he had fallen asleep.
