So the bathroom makeover continues. It's coming along, but I seem to be doing more work than the Handyman that lives here so I'm wondering if this is a good idea after all. :)

It's late as I type this, just past midnight. For whatever reason, my big boy couldn't fall asleep tonight. He tried sleeping in his bed, went and snuggled with Daddy, went back to his bed, and finally out to the couch. He was very frustrated that he couldn't sleep. He tried laying very still, he tried reading, he tried thinking (that never works, btw), he just couldn't get to sleep. So he came out to the couch, where I'm sitting working on the computer (working on some school stuff). He laid down with a pillow, then with a blanket. He asked me (again!) for all my ideas on how to go to sleep. To which I said, "Honey, it's ok if you can't fall asleep. Sometimes it's hard to do. But the good thing is that I don't have to wake you up for anything tomorrow. You don't catch the bus at 6:20 in the morning (like his friend who goes to public school), you don't have to be up for school and we don't have anything going on tomorrow, and if it takes you a long time to fall asleep tonight and you have to sleep in longer tomorrow, that's really ok." I kid you not, less than two minutes later and he's fast asleep.

Not that I needed another reason, but it does make it nice to be a homeschooling family. :)

Ok, I have to get to bed now too!

Love and vinegar!
