Sunday night at my house:
Me: "OK, Luke, it's time to get into jammies!"
Luke: It's not night!
Me: But it's 7:15 (later than usual bedtime), and so you need to brush your teeth and get ready for bed.
Luke: (going over to the window) Look Mama! It's still morning! It's not time to go to sleep yet!
Me: You still have to go to school tomorrow at the same time, so you need to get to bed.
Luke: (grabbing the carpet with his fingernails as I drag him off to his bedroom) (ok, that's an exxageration.) Noooooo!
When we had finished getting into jammies and brushing teeth, the sun was starting to go down and he said, "See Mama! Now it's night!" I'm glad we don't live in Alaska (or England, for that matter).
He had trouble sleeping last night, due to bad dreams. When I asked him about them, he said, "I will tell the pumpkin to go away!" Apparently they were about a pumpkin, "and that scared me and made me cry." Glad I wasn't there.
For the record, Amanda is coming down with a cold and slept right through. Eleanor had real trouble getting to sleep, but fortunately, she can deal with that on her own for the most part.
