Tau and Nite Nite

Funny how children name things. Cooper call's his special blanket his "Tau" and Cole calls his blanket his "Nite, Nite".   The other night Matt and Ashley were out and I went up to their bedroom to be closer to the kids.   Cooper was I thought asleep in their bed but when I went to lay down he said, hi Gee.  I said I thought you were asleep and he said well I've been counting sheep.   I've counted 18 so far and can't fall asleep.   We chatted for awhile and then he asked me to get his Tau for him from his bedroom.   Once I gave him his Tau he went sound asleep.  Cole of course was already asleep with his nite nite.  He wraps himself up in his.  I guess we all have our comfort items or food.   Both boys do many things alike but also have their special names for what is important to them.  The boys have taught me so much.  They are pure joy to watch.
