"Mommy, I tired"

AH ... it's a milestone! For the first time EVER today, Luke admitted that he was tired!!!

Of course, I knew he was tired, because he refused to take a nap at Day's house this afternoon (probably my fault since I forgot his blanket at home). As we loaded him in the car after what should have been his naptime, I saw his poor tired eyes, and he started chewing on his finger (which has started happening recently due to his 2-year molars coming in), and I knew that we just needed to get through a few hours before we could put him to bed for the night.

He talked to me on the car ride home, but as we approached our house, very quietly and completely out of left field I hear, "Mommy, I tired." Then he asked me if he could lay on the couch with his blanket when we got home .... of course, and that's exactly what he did (right before going to bed for the night at 6:45!).
