Middle Boy wanted to "protect" me from Younger Boy by sleeping on the floor outside my bedroom.

I don't feel threatened by Younger Boy.  I don't think he would hurt me.  If I thought the situation was getting out of hand I would call 911.  It isn't like the police have never been to our house before.

I was trying to figure out if Middle Boy was uncomfortable in the same room as Younger Boy and that was why he wanted to sleep in the hall or if he truly thought I needed protection.  He has been in life situations before where he felt he needed to be the protector so I think it is part of him and his nature.

I'm tired.  Middle Boy is tired. 

As long as everyone is sleeping I guess it doesn't really matter where.

Prayers for a good nights sleep!
