Quiet moments. [updated, video works now]

Ben and I saw a movie recently that ended with a mother gazing at her son while he ate his dinner.  Sometimes I just like to gaze at one or both of the boys while they are deeply involved in something.  Or not.  Tonight Art, Lewis and I went to Ben's book signing event at the Pioneer Press building.  We called it Papa's Party and on the way back I put Art's car seat in the front (I was driving Bubbe's old Tracker, made before child-killing passenger side airbags).  While I was driving through the night and streetlights I wanted to gaze at Art just sitting there next to me.  At a stoplight I started the video camera (resting on the parking break, not in my hands!) and now I have that moment captured.

Even  though he didn't mention it we knew it was on his mind. Jessica  had already prepared him and told him she'd help if he had trouble .  So, as promised, she got in bed with him after he couldn't sleep.        "Mama?" he  said eventually, tearing up a little as she snuggled next to him, "I  wis...
