As we sat watching Seth's game, Luke asked me if he could have a sip of my coffee. Both his brothers had grabbed water bottles, but there wasn't one for him, so I said yes, he could have some. As he was sitting so still and quietly on my lap, I failed to realize he never gave the cup back to me until I reached for it to take a swig and found it totally empty! He grinned and said "I drank it ALL!!" While disappointed that I no longer had a warm beverage to enjoy, I didn't give it much more thought...until about 10:30.
10:30 was the time that Luke came out of his room to say he had to go potty - again!! It was then that it dawned on me why, when both his brothers were out like a light (and snoring so loudly we could hear them in the living room!) he was still WIDE awake, and now having to make yet another potty trip! I realized and confessed to Todd (who had been umpiring the game) what happened with the big coffee...which totally explained our wired 3 year old with the over-active bladder. We chuckled, gave him a little more grace than we normally would for the repeated 'getting out of bed offense' and he did, in fact, soon drift off to sleep.
Lesson learned - ALWAYS watch a 3 year old with an affinity for Starbucks!!

Tooooo funny!
More proof positive that we're related! My Luke would drink a whole cup of coffee if left to his own as well! And like you, I’ve learned that night time isn’t the best time to be drinking it! That’s so funny!
At least they have good taste!
thats my boy!!
That's hilarious! My little Dylan always tries to get his hands on my Starbucks drink. He thinks it's the greatest thing ever.=)
FUNNY!
