The Sleep After

After their marathon lack-of-sleep session in the tent, the Wife and I decided a little revenge was in the offing. I didn’t let them take a nap all day yesterday. They both tried at various points. The best attempt came from the boy first, while running some errands he nearly fell asleep in the car; and then second, while waiting for dinner he snuck upstairs to his room. The lass didn’t try too hard. I was prepared for some epic levels of fatigue induced confrontation; remarkably, none was forthcoming.

But it was worth it come bed time. The didn’t argue and were both in bed shortly after 8. They were asleep by 8:15 and the boy was the first one up at about 7:30. The lass slept until almost 8:30. I can’t remember the last time she slept that late- it might well be never.
