I spy with my little eye one little boy who can't fall asleep without reading- just like his big brother and sister. In our house no one ever says their prayers, turns off the light and drifts into dreamland. Nope. In our house we say our prayers, leave every light on like an airport landing strip and read "till our eyeballs fall out". (Mom's catchy little phrase that makes them feel so in control).
So they'll continue to develop their vocabulary and imagination and daddy and I will continue to make our rounds turning out the lights well after bedtime.
