Alexis has a small bit of insomnia, yes even at her young little age. Thanks Mom! She has your genes to thank for that! But one way that she copes with it is to read books. Her school has a reading program that rewards kids for reading. This, and the fact that she simply loves to read, gives her motivation to sit up at night with a flashlight reading. I have found her reading at midnight before. "Just a little more mom, I am at a really good spot!"
The other night I came in to tuck in Skyler who was struggling to fall asleep and saw this:
She had fallen asleep while reading! The flashlight is held in one hand, propped up on her shoulder, and the book fell across her little nose! How Cute! I simply can't get mad at her, because I read late at night sometimes too! In fact, I get so into stories that I have had to stop reading because I just wasn't sleeping. Nights are the only time that I have to read. Someday I will start avidly reading again, but for now, Alexis is!
