Brilliant, on a curve of Skywalker

Ben, unlike his daddy, was not much of a morning person. And without Nanny to wake him up, he slept all the way until 9 before clambering out of bed and into his light gray jumpsuit.

The boots took him some time--he was three and zippers were kind of tough--but he finally had everything in mostly the right order.

He skipped brushing his hair because Nanny wasn't there to tell him to do it. Ha.

Then he sat back down and stared at the door for a long, long time, weighing the benefits of finding something to eat against the badness of seeing other people.

...maybe he could be really, really quiet.

With that plan in mind, Ben snuck out of the room.
