My son just asked if he could go to bed. It's not even 7:00pm yet.

We went to a carnival earlier today, after which we took the kids to the gym and let them swim for a couple of hours. Apparently, we really tuckered the little guy out.

Of course, I did give him permission to go to bed.

1. Oh, that's crazy ...

He'll be up at 2am at the latest.

Mom. Mom. Mom. Mom. Mom. Mom. Mom. Mom.

I only know this 'cause that's what I'd do. And I'm 40 ... and don't even live with my mom. :-)

3. Nah, he'll be okay.
When he's tired, he's tired. He'll watch TV for a little while, then read for a little while, then roll over and fall asleep.

My daughter is curled up in Mr. LIW's recliner watching the Food Network.

4. When my kids sleep, I take their temperatures
They never want to go to sleep- me, on the other hand......

6. That's the way to do it
Wear their little butts out. My parents employed the same strategy with my sister and I.
