Our little secret...

We have been recently quite irritated by Stu waking up Wifey in the early hours of the morning to : "Mama! Cover me up!" He insists that he can't do it himself, and frankly it is easier sometimes just to do it, than listening to him squawk about it, waking everybody else up. So, last Wednesday night, home late from bible study, I was helping a Very Sleepy Stu get into P.J.'s. He remarks several times during this process that he is very tired and he wants to get into bed. We finish getting him "pajamma-fied" and he crawls into bed and pulls his covers up neatly over him. Seeing this, I can't help but bust his chops a little. I said "how come you can pull your covers up over yourself so well, but at 2:00 in the morning you have to come and wake up your mama to do it?!?!?" He smiles sleepily, and with half closed eyes tells me conspiratorially, "It'll just be our little secret, Daddy." Turkey!!!
