Little Cookie Monster...

I didn't sleep very well Monday night.  I was wide awake at 3 a.m. and finally fell back to sleep around 5.  It made for a very long day at work.  After picking Tyke up from Grandma Cheryl's we went home and I grabbed a box of cookies (mini nilla wafers) and layed on the couch while Tyke played.  He would play for a few minutes and then come over to me yodeling (his latest form of gibberish) and tip his head to the side and smile while holding out his hands for more cookies.  I would give him two, one for each hand, and then he'd be off to play again.  I closed the box and sat it on the corner couch, far back so he couldn't reach.  I dozed off and when I woke up Tyke was sitting on the couch with me, near my feet with the box of cookies in hand, crumbs all over the place, watching his cartoons.  He looked at me and grinned a big cookie grin.  I asked him if he was my cookie monster and he shook his head yes!  The box was half empty!  Apparently our boy can now climb on couches by himself and it's not really a good idea to nap when we're the only two in the house.  At least we had the cookies to keep him out of trouble =)
