easy morning

I worked all day at Curves today, and I was delighted that Gran and Pop had offered to babysit Dennis overnight last night. It made it much easier for me to get up and out of the house on time! I had a nice day at work, got lots of things done there, and Dennis stopped by to work out as I was closing up. He and Gran did their exercises and then I brought him home. He was tired and went right to bed with no trouble, but when I went to check on him later, he gave me quite a shock. As is my routine, I turned on the light and looked over toward the bed, but Dennis was not in the bed. He was standing in the middle of his room with Froggy held down by his side dragging the floor. I was not expecting this and my heart stopped for a minute to see someone standing in the center of his room before I processed that it was him. He was just starting to cry--I must have caught him on his way to our room or maybe he was confused about where he was. I scooped him up and brought him to our bed and he snuggled in. He woke up for a second, looked at me, looked at the sleeping David, mumbled (with one eye open) "I'm going to need my sock monkey" and then fell back to sleep. My reading and computing didn't bother him one bit.
