While Mommy was Away

I was gone to London for my girls weekend leaving my boys home alone. It's sweet and good bonding time for them. They always seem a tighter when they've had time away from me. I learned that on Saturday while Declan was playing with some toys the big red Tornado warning came up on the TV. The  alert is so loud Declan leapt from his toys and ran to Daddy for protection. They sat together while Daddy tried to teach Declan what a Tornado is and that there wasn't anything for him to be concerned about. He asked about it a few more times needing a little comfort after being startled. 

Learned today that they'd made plans for Declan to steal my spot in bed while I was away. The boys discussed it earlier in the day and when bedtime rolled around Daddy through habit started walking to Declan's room. "You're going the wrong way!" Declan corrected him as he was excited to sleep in the big bed for the night. He was awake and playing for just over an hour but was out cold when Daddy finally made his way to bed. Boys weekend.
