Scary

I went to bed pretty early last night to try to get over this cold that we are passing around our house like a hot potato. So I woke up at 1am parched, and desperately in need of a cough drop. So as I'm stumbling back to our room, through the living room, I hear Ryan's voice clear, and no trace of sleep or fatigue in his voice: "I want to get out of my room, Daddy".

I nearly had a heart attack. So I had to go and explain to him that it was not time to get up yet, it was still very dark outside.

Then Holly chimes in: "I can't find my key."

What are you people doing awake?????

And I wonder, how often Ryan wakes up in the middle of the night and stands at his gate.
