We've been rewarding Logan for going to bed "like a big boy" in his own bed, by himself, no extended snuggling with Momma/Daddy, no late night snacks, no watching bowling before bed, etc.
Well recently I needed to get him to bed earlier than usual because we were going to have an earlier than usual start the next day so that I would have time to get him to school and get to the office to prep for an early meeting.
He was a little bit amped up still when he climbed into his bed and I thought he'd be wandering out of his room on his way back downstairs at any moment. So I sat down on the upstairs couch and did some messaging from my phone while I kept watch.
In a moment, his sweet little boy voice came out of his room as he had begun reading his beginning reader story books to himself in his bedroom. He read several of them...he may have read all of them because the next thing I remember was waking up from the couch.
I checked on him and noticed he had put all the books back on the shelf before falling asleep himself. I turned off his lamp, went downstairs, and slept nearly as peacefully as he did the rest of the night.
