In good news, I actually made it to the gym this morning.
This was an accomplishment.

Kiddo was so tired last night that he had a little breakdown as we got home from after-school care.  We sat on the couch for a bit, cuddled and talked about it.  When I asked, "Is it because you're tired?"  He said it was, and went up to bed, asking that I bring dinner upstairs for him to have it in bed.  So we did that.  Then he read four books to me (and then his daddy).  Then we read some Shel Silverstein poems (From Falling Up ), and he went to sleep.

He did wake up at 4 Am, but he was back to sleep by 4:30, and slept until 6.

Yes, he was a tired kiddo - he had about 11 total hours of sleep last night.  Aaaaw.

Yay! Good for you!

And good for the kiddo for being able to know that he was tired and be willing to do something about it. You are a very good parent for acknowledging and responding to him knowing what his own needs are. Lots of grown ups don't even have that ability.

My kids won't go back to sleep if they get up at 4 and start reading.
