Man of the house

Last night, after we were ready for bed and about to settle in for story time, Zach heard a noise downstairs.  Matt was still at work and we knew he wouldn't be home for a least a half hour.  I was about to get up and check it out to ease Zach's mind (I knew what the sound was...the computer shutting down.)  Zach says "No Mom, I'll check it out...I'm the man of the house when Dad's not here."  So, he went downstairs to "protect" his family.  Such a brave little man!
