Benny woke up at 2am. Called to me, "Mom, can you please come upstairs to me? Come upstairs to ME!" So I went in there and he pushed and shoved and chattered at me for TWO HOURS and then he said, "The clock says 4, it's time for chocolate milk." It was actually 4:12am but how could he know that without a clock? *boggle* So I came downstairs and got him some chocolate milk. Took it back up. He said, "Now you go to sleep in Daddy's bed. Goodbye Mom." So I gratefully went in and laid down in bed. Soon I heard, "MOM, can I go potty?" I assented. "MOM, can I take off my pull-up and put it in the garbage?" Of course. "Oh good, because you tinkle all wet and you're all wet." I'm meanwhile trying to sleep as he potters about upstairs flushing this and that toilet and distributing his pull-ups around. Then he is standing beside me pulling on my face saying, "Can I come in with you? Benny's cold and all wet."
Turns out he had leaked tinkle out of his pullup and was in a wettish pajama shirt and nothing else. He never asks to come into our bed so I felt like he was in dire straits. He was cold. So I stripped off his shirt, tucked him up next to Dan and went and got fresh dry pajamas and pull-up and put them on him and then laid down next to them with him between us. Benny wanted to chat. I said, "No, Benny, you have to be quiet so Daddy can sleep." Then we had the following conversation:
Dan (asleep): DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN TAKE THAT ROAD ALL THE WAY DOWN TO VIRGINIA BEACH!?!?
Benny: Oh, yes, Dad! Okay! You doing a good job!
Dan (asleep): Sssshhhhhh!
Benny: Dad you have to be quiet! No Dad! Don't talk Dad!
Me: *laugh*
Benny (top volume): DON'T LAUGH MOM! YOU DON'T NEED TO LAUGH. YOU BE QUIET SO DAD CAN SLEEP!
HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Eventually he went to sleep, about 5am. What a night.
