Brett just came downstairs from checking on him. It's 9:30pm here. Larson's bedtime is technically 8:00, but we've been having just a wee bit of trouble with that one since the days have been getting longer. Last summer, when Larson was 2, it was pretty easy to convince him that it was nighttime: we just put a dark blanket over his curtains to black out the room and he went to sleep at the usual time. Now he's on to us, and his favorite activity when he's supposed to be lying down falling asleep is to sit on the side of his bed, inside the curtains, and "read" at the window. I mean, c'mon, the sun's still up, why shouldn't he be?
And you might think that these late nights mean that he's sleeping later in the morning. Ha ha, au contraire! As far as Larson is concerned, when his eyes open at 7:15 and there's sunshine, it's time to start the day. So far, he seems to be holding up ok with less sleep and did take naps most of the days last week. I'd be curious to hear what anyone else has to say about kids and sleeping when the days are long.
