Sneaking Down the Stairs

I just caught my ten year old son sneaking down the stairs, trying to surprise me this morning. He likes to do that once in a while. He'll wake up, come down as quietly as possible, see if I'm on the computer and then crawl as far as he can without being caught. He DOES know, however, NOT to jump up and yell "Surprise!" at me after doing that ONCE. Now he just quietly announces his arrival with a "Good morning, Mom," and a hug.

Hmmm.... I really need to savor these days!
