One night Robert was out of town. I was up late working on the computer. Before I went to bed I sneaked into the kid's room to kiss their cheeks and cover them up. I went into Owen's room and he wasn't there. I looked in the girl's room, my room, and then began to panic. I frantically searched the entire house and garage. I couldn't find him. I then looked back in the girl's room. I climbed up on the bunk beds and looked into where Payton slept, high on the top bunk. There was Owen. Whew! Apparently he was scared and knew his big sister, Payton would protect him. I thought it was so cute that I had to snap a pic. 
It wasn't but a few nights later that Robert went to check on the kids and couldn't find, Payton. He yelled down to me. This time I knew right where she was. Yup, she had crawled into bed with Owen. The next morning she told me he whined for her to sleep with him because the monsters were scary. Thanks Pay for being Owen's monster slayer, mostly because, the nights you sleep with him, he doesn't climb into bed with me. And that makes for one happy Mama!
