For the first time, he's not needed me to lie with him. His big sister lay with him instead and we left the curtains drawn open for a little light to enter the room. He fell asleep easily and seems to be sleeping well.
This is a big moment, but I'm also readying myself for his return tomorrow after the novelty wears off. Parenthood is such a massive exercise in letting go, and in knowing when to do so... This one looks like he's needing me a little less as big boyhood beckons.
