brings over the monitor and disrupts my peaceful moment.

JJ:  He just fussed and I don’t see him on the monitor.

Me:  He’s fine babe.  I am sure he is just in one of the corners.  Bring it here.

He walks the monitor over to me and though I don’t see Colton, I see that the covers are pulling one way and deduce that he must be in that corner of the bed.  

Me:  He is right up there in the corner where all the covers are pulling.

JJ:  He must be uncomfortable.  I am going to move him.

Me:  Good luck.  I hope you don’t wake him up.  (Hahaha I will be here enjoying my wine while you waste your time being overprotective)

Minutes later I hear his heavy footsteps coming up the stairs.  I look up smugly and then quickly notice he doesn’t look like a man proven wrong.  Not good.

JJ:  He was on the floor.  I kicked him in the head when I walked in his room.  

Me:  Oooh.  

JJ:  How are your instincts right now?  Razor sharp.

Perhaps I was a little too eager to enjoy my wine.
