Instead, at 4:00pm, just as Ben's eyes were drooping and I was getting ready to eat that second pumpkin chocolate chip cookie sitting on a plate next to my rocking chair, a small figure rounded the corner and surprised me.
"Hi..." I said, wondering what had just happened.
"Awake," he told me.
"Yes, you are awake," I said, still hoping it wasn't true.
"Out of crib," he told me, clutching his smurf.
"Yes. How did you get out of your crib?" I asked.
"All by myself."
And then he ate my cookie.
Zeke reports on the cookie.
Addendum: Tonight Mike and Zeke did the normal bedtime routine and Mike finally said goodnight and closed the door behind him. I had just put a sleeping Ben in the corner of the living room couch so I could get started on some dishes. Mike took a moment to visit the necessary. Suddenly, I heard Zeke's bedroom door open and the thud, thud, thud, of my toddler at a dead run. Since Ben was in an exposed position, I dropped everything and ran to protect him. Zeke zoomed right past his usual target and jumped into the (empty) rocking chair.
"Awake, " he told me, loudly.
We're in trouble.

You're just hitting so many milestones... Congratulations?
Hmmm...pumpkin cookies. What inspiration!
THAT was CUTE...Zeke saying delicious that is...not so cute about "awake." I understand the feeling.
zeke says so many cute things. When he drinks water, he tells us how he's a "thirsty boy".
But bed time is improving a little. We take turns sitting outside his open door and moving a few feet down the hall every 5 minutes until we round the corner and he can't see us. morning is still hard, but we're working on it.
Were those my cookies? You weren't supposed to share with Zeke!
