Happy Birthday Daddy!

Probably the best gift that Daddy got was me telling Dexter the night before to quietly wake only me up in the morning so Daddy could sleep in.  Dexy remembered (!) and on Ben's birthday morning, he came into our room and quietly woke me up whispering, "Mommy, I'm hungry." (this is his new standard "wake-up"line).  I got out of bed and took Dexy with me to get coffee and an ice cream cake for Daddy. We were gone for about an hour when I realized that Dexter's alarm clock was probably going off and waking up Daddy. When we got home, sure enough, Daddy was half asleep in Dexter's room trying to turn off the alarm. Had we gotten home one minute earlier, we may have gotten to the alarm before Daddy and had we gotten home one minute later, Daddy may have made it back to bed without having been seen.  Alas, once Dexter spotted Daddy, there was no letting him go back to bed - it was time to eat Daddy's birthday ice cream cake for breakfast!
