A very unusual evening...

First I must start off by saying that Seth pooped on the potty again last night! And just like the previous time, he actually told me he had to before he did it.
With that said, last night was very strange and not like Seth at all! I put him to bed as usual around 8pm, and as usual he went straight to sleep. Well at around 10:30 he started crying and that's when i heard the cat meowing. Our cat, Simon, has been known to sneak in his room and then get locked in, so i didn't think it was a big deal so i let the cat out of Seth's room. Well the crying didn't stop and it was a pretty urgent cry. It was almost like he was scared and maybe the cat startled him. Again, no big deal, so i went in and cuddled with him for a while and then he acted like he wanted to go to bed so i put him back in his crib and walked out. He starts crying again so I repeat the process. After about the 3rd time it was almost as if he just wasn't sleepy anymore and he wanted to go watch "Elmo" and see "Dada" and go "deat" (eat). Then he started rehearsing all of the animal sounds he knows. At about 1am i laid down on the floor beside his crib and kept telling him to go to bed. He would lay down for a few minutes and then pop his head up to make sure i was still there. He would even say "hi" to me as he did this. We don't have much experience with this because Seth has always been a great sleeper and never does this sort of thing. It was almost as if he just wanted me there. I hope tonight he doesn't expect the same thing to happen...i guess we will see.
