Brayden and Logan are getting to an age where they just aren't sleepy for an 8:00 bedtime very often. We have tried to remedy this a little by letting them stay up a little later at night to read. This kills two birds with one stone: they get their reading done for school and they get to stay up and read and feel a little older with extra priveleges!
One week Logan asked if he could stay up as late as he wanted as long as he was reading any night, and I agreed to let him do that on Friday nights only, since he didn't have to get up and do anything that important on Saturdays. Since then, it has become a regular thing, something they look forward to, often staying up till 10 or later just reading. (Side note: I'm jealous they can read at night because I can't! If I'm tired, I will fall asleep, no matter how good my book is.)
Well a few weeks ago on a Friday night, Logan was in his room reading, but he was very quiet (unusual for him, even when he's reading) so we went to check on him and lo and behold, he was asleep! At 8:30! On the one night he's allowed to stay up as late as he wants!
Guess this guy does need sleep after all?
