When it was over, he looked calm again and said, "Thanks Mom, that is just what I needed." He rolled over and went straight back to sleep. Getting up in the middle of the night can really be a big pain, as any mother with a husband who sleeps like he's been shot with an elephant tranquilizer knows. But it sure doesn't feel like such a challenge on the nights that I get to be a part of these kinds of experiences.

We know that Colin will now be safe in his sleep from everyone, except for Dangerous Dave and Red the Terrible. The problem is that Red the Terrible bunks just underneath him.
