And not just scribbling. He actually draws. I have been completely amazed at some of the things his little mind comes up with. His drawings are not exact, but I can definitely see the thought pattern. And when I ask him what he's drawing, he knows exactly what it is. He LOVES his DoodlePro and side walk chalk.

It is not a good feeling. First of all, I had trouble falling asleep. I was cold and normally our house is hot at night. So I had to get up and find a blanket. Then Hubby started snoring. I so need some ear plugs. And about the time I fell asleep, the Tornado woke me up to tell me he had "poo poo". This was at about 4 AM.
