Alex reminds me a lot of his Uncle Benji. While I always enjoyed readying, my brother Benji would stay up all night reading.
Yesterday evening Alex started reading a new book called Fablehaven. I made him put it down for bed and turn out lights around 9. Anna found him reading about 10:30 and repeated the routine.
This morning, we had to drag Alex out of bed after 9, which is late for our kids. Further discussion at breakfast revealed he had stayed up to continue reading until he finished the book. 526 pages in one night.
Ohh. Good choice. We’ve got the Fablehaven series and they were very enjoyable.
Note to Alex from Grandpa: Enjoy it while you can. As you grow older it becomes mored difficult to recover from the lost sleep.
