Skid Wisdom






Bedtime on weekdays is 8pm. overhead lights out with only a green night light on. The little boy has shown a like for reading maybe because he sees us read during bedtime. I was surprised when during his first dental appointment he can tell time by the hour (1pm, 2pm, 3pm, etc.)

It has been a weekly treat for him to go to Powerbooks or Fully Booked when school is out and sit on the floor for an hour or so reading books.

Last night it was past his bedtime and still he keeps reading. So his Dad said, `You don't want to sleep? what do you want, Powerbooks or Pavilion?' (The pavilion is the place where his play pen is and where he takes his afternoon naps. Skid quips, `Powerbooks!' and turns on the night light. We turned off the overhead light and he laid down and drank his milk bottle preparing to sleep.

With the overhead lights on, i dimmed the lights on my Kindle and continued reading. Ten to fifteen minutes later, hubby said, `How will he sleep, if you continue reading with the lights out?' The little boy chirps, `Mom? you want Powerbooks or Pavilion?' hehehehe

Smart aleck! Can't help but hide a smile while turning my Kindle off. Just shows you have to practice what you preach HAHAHA
