And just like that, there is a young gentleman sleeping on my sofa and generally staying up later than his mom and dad prefer, but only because grandma is a sound sleeper.  His  bigger sister has gone camping and Marcus is just a wee bit too young to be left on his own at home just yet.  He is 10, almost 11, but he is not ready for being alone.  

Good thing he likes puzzles and is happy to play games and watch movies while I knit.
