Sweet Slumber!

In the words of one of Benjamin's favorite Little Einstein characters... "I CAN NOT BELIEVE IT!" Last night we did our little leading up to bed time routine, which by the way included a second dinner at 8:45pm because he was STARVING... and after story time (love the Llama Llama books Jill :)) Marc walked Benjamin back to his room. Ben climbed into bed, hugged Teddy Bear and Boz and proceeded to tell Marc in his biggest big boy voice, "OK Daddy, you go now." Marc said prayers with him, tucked him in, gave him a kiss and left. He came back into the den, to my surprise, right away. I told him about nap time earlier today, but that I didn't think it was a permanent thing right away... We went back down to his room about 5 minutes later, after hearing not a peep... to find Ben fast asleep!
OK, maybe he was just totally exhausted... but it was BEAUTIFUL!
PRAISE GOD!
