Bedtime

We have always had issues with Isaac going to bed. I think it's because he was our first and we were never as firm with him about bedtime as we should have been. We also made mistakes with letting him sleep on our floor when he was sick and now he is always trying to sleep on our floor. He's also gone through periods of being scared of the dark. With the girls we knew better and they are great sleepers. After an initial period of a few weeks where Indiana was testing to see if she could get out of bed and play without getting punished she has conceded defeat and stays in her bed all night long just like Abigail.
We also have another issue now because Isaac is getting to the point where he doesn't need to go to bed as early as the girls, but I think we have come up with a pretty effective solution. Now that Isaac can both read and tell time he knows that everyone goes to bed at the same time, but he gets to read an extra hour or so before he has to turn off his reading light and go to sleep. I love going in to check on him and finding him asleep on a book with his headlamp on. I wish I could take a picture without waking him up. This has been a great solution for us though because he's quiet, he is working on his reading skills, and he is practicing telling time. The only big problem is when he falls asleep with his nose in a book I have to wake him up a little to get the book put away.
