It's 9:00 pm ... Both boys have been put to bed. Todd and I are watching our TiVo-ed "Prison Break". We hear a noise ... "da dong .... da dong". "What was that?"

"Sounds like it's coming from upstairs."
"Do you think Grant fell out of bed ... or is hitting the wall?"

Todd goes up to check on Grant and I hear a giggle at the top of the stairs. I didn't sound like Grant was going to go back to bed very easily. I heard his bedroom door shut .... open .... shut. And then Todd came downstairs.

I asked him if everything was alright, and Todd said "Yeah ... Grant was just playing basketball!"

Grant got a basketball hoop to put on his bedroom door this weekend for his birthday. The noise that we heard was his throwing the basketball at the hoop -- missing, not missing, who knows?? But, Todd said that he had the light on, and was "shooting hoop" -- to put it in Grant's exact words!

At least he wasn't crying to get out of his room! I'm sure he would have fallen asleep eventually!
