James is the king of bed-time excuses and often comes down 4-5 times a night with another excuse about why he cannot fall asleep. A couple nights ago, he came down and said that the number one reason he could not fall asleep was because of the computer game he has been playing each day. He only gets to play for an hour each day, but 'Plants vs. Zombies' was keeping him awake. I quickly replied to him that I had an easy solution to that problem and that he would not be able to play the game anymore! He of course stated that he did not like that solution and went back to bed mumbling under his breath.
2 minutes later, he came back down stairs saying that he had tried very hard to fall asleep once again, but could not. The reason this time: he couldn't stop thinking about the jobs he would have to do in the morning. HMMM...very smart thinking, right. He was assuming that if he thought about something too much and it kept him awake at night, his Aunt Stacey would remedy the problem by taking away that worry. After laughing hysterically, I gave James a huge hug and assured him that he would still have jobs in the morning!
