Sleeping with Benjamin

This post will likely be brief. I am sitting across the room from my bedmate. His blond fuzzy hair shining in the light of my cellphone.
I had hoped he would sleep just as he usually does, but he's spotted me and so, that is not likely!
This is my first night with Benjamin. He's here because the kitchen renovation has gone far into the night, and it is no place for a busy little guy. They are building cement countertops, so separating him from the project is a no-brainer!
Brooksie sleeps in the next room. We are going to dinner at a friend's house tomorrow... she probably is thinking she should have declined the invitation. A weekend here with no kitchen may not be her idea of a fun time, but she's a good sport!
Trying to keep Benjamin in bed (it's 5 AM) is working...so far. At seven, the family leaves for a weekend at Great Wolf Lodge. And Brooks and I will see what fun thing we can do while they're gone.
At a time when most people are settled down dealing with the issues of old age, I find myself smack in the middle of stepping over toys, washing applesauce off little hands, hunting for shoes....
I wouldn't trade last night with that little guy in my bed for anything in this world....but I sure hope I have a few more minutes before I have to close the bathroom door.... (Benjamin loves toilets!)
