We sent him back to bed on this trip down telling him that he can go to sleep without the music. He said he "really" needed it. I promised him if he would just be still and close his eyes, he would fall asleep.
Well, he just came back down and informed us that he still could not go to sleep. His opinion was that he could just stay up with us until we go to bed. He curled up with me on the couch and told me that he tried everything to go to sleep. "I even tried closing my eyes."

Bless his little heart. Sometimes you have to give in. Mimi would hold him if she was there!
And I'll add that I went upstairs to go bed shortly after Tim posted this. I have been very sick, so I needed to get in bed. About 10 minutes after I got in bed, in walks Nathan. "Mom I really can't sleep, can I lay down with you?" So what do you think I said? "Climb on in." He finally fell asleep after 10:00pm. As it turns out, we think he couldn't sleep because he was so excited about dressing up like an old man at school today. Kids.
I sure hope you get well soon. I want to see pictures of Nathan as an old man! That is so cute. What time does he have to get up in the morning? 10:00 was late.
Graham and Drew went to bed with music one night, and after ten minutes I heard Drew calling me. I went upstairs to see what he wanted, and as he was wiping the tears off his face, said, "Mom, I can't sleep with that!!! It makes me cry!" It was the Snooze cd by Go Fish Guys. I came back downstairs laughing. He's such a tenderhearted little guy! Take care and feel better!!!
