Early to bed

And later to rise, I guess? Boy Wonder went to bed at his usual time last night, and slept until 6:15 this morning. He woke up in a pretty good mood, too. Whew.

On the other hand, this evening he spent ten minutes (and harnessed a lot of screaming energy) telling me, "It's not bedtime! It's still LIGHT out!" Nothing like a kid who's about to fall asleep on his feet screaming that he's not TIRED, it's still LIGHT out, he doesn't WANT to go to bed. These statements are particularly amusing when accompanied by huge yawns, extensive eye-rubbing, and the special Tired Salute*. After several books and a bedtime story about an upcoming zoo trip, he finally went to sleep. I wonder what time he'll wake up tomorrow.

*He holds his hand in front of his mouth, almost like he's blowing on his wrist to cool it off. He has been doing this since he was about six months old.
