For the last 4-5 days Benjamin has been crankier than normal-- prone to mini-fits and crying spells. I thought he was acting tired, but I didn't know why he would be any more tired than normal since nothing had changed. Tonight I found out why. About 20 minutes after I put him to bed, I needed to get the laundry out of his room. I knew he was still awake because I could hear him, but I expected to find him playing in his bed like always. When I walked in, he was at his car table, playing with all the cars we had put away only a half an hour earlier. When I asked him what he was doing, he said, "I'm having a play date. It's okay, mom. You can just leave. You don't need to worry about it-- I'm just having a play date for awhile. Go on out." What a funny boy! I told him that we don't have play dates at night and let him choose a few cars to take to bed with him. Not long afterwards he was fast asleep. Hopefully I'll have the happier Benjamin back tomorrow!

After the party was over, Jacob waited until Brigham and I were busy getting kids out the door and then grabbed a big handful of cake. From the trail of cake crumbs and frosting, we gathered that he ran across the living room with it, stopped and wiped a hand on the couch, and we found him licking crumbs off of his hand while sitting on the Love Sac. Unfortunately, it was decorator's icing-- meaning it was half butter and shortning. What a mess! You'd think he hadn't almost thrown up from eating too much cake only a half an hour before!
