Where O'Where has my little one gone?

I first have to start with a bit of my Benjamin. He is my serious one of the bunch and sees things so clearly sometimes. We recently had a bit of excitement over at the neighbors and a fire engine, police car and ambulance arrived on the scene. Right after I asked B. about what he thought about what had happened and he replied, "well, they are unhealthy and had to go to the hospital. I've been learning about bodies at preschool and eating healthy food to be healthy." First I was impressed that he had made a connection. I then went on to talk about how their grandma was old and when we get older our bodies start to get tired. That was the end of that until dinner.
At dinner I asked B. to tell Daddy what excitement had happened that day. He looks at Matt and said that there were EMERGENCY VEHICLES at the neighbors house. (Here I was thinking that he would say that a police car, ambulance and fire truck. silly me.) He also went on to explain healthy habits to everyone and old bodies as only a 4 year old can.

For any of you who are familiar with the classic movie Better Off Dead imagine the little kid who follows the teenage boy saying " I want my two dollars!" Now just change the words to "I want breakfast!" You have B. every morning between 6:45 and 7 am. (This morning it was 3 am!) Finally one morning after just getting back in bed again after a very long night, B. comes in demanding breakfast. I tell him that I have a half hour before I have to get Sophie up and just get in bed and snuggle for a little bit.
Benjamin: "No, I'm hungry. I want breakfast."
Mom: "Well then go get it yourself. I'm going to lay her for a little bit."
B: "I want to eat breakfast with everyone."
Mom: " I am not going to wake everybody up right now, so just wait 15 minutes. PPPLEASE."
B: "I want breakfast"
Mom: "Well then just go get a handful of cereal till everybody gets up."
B: "OK"
Later at dinner I recount the conversation to Matt. I continue by saying that when I came out Benjamin had the whole bag next to him eating. Matt then asked Benjamin why he had the whole bag. Benjamin holds out his hand and states simply, "they are too small and I couldn't get enough!"

Enough of B. on to Carsten. Lately our nightly tuck ins have turned into "Where is Carsten?"

It's a good thing he has long limbs!
