Matthew's been able to reach the light switch in his room by climbing on his bookshelf (or his truck, or his upended toy basket...) for a while now. Monday night he took the next step and decided this means he doesn't have to go to sleep at bedtime. I put him down at 7:30; at 9:30 (after repeating the process several times) he fell asleep at the door, with the light on.
Tuesday he didn't sleep in and was a very cranky boy. Not only that, but that night he got up at 12:00, 2:00, 3:00, AND 4:00. Grr! Then he finally slept in, 'til 8:30. We have a lightswitch lock on order (none of the local stores stock them), but in the meantime Rachel instituted a policy of light turned on after bedtime = spanking and that was pretty effective last night.
In other news, Matthew got a cheap plastic "camera" in a kid's meal at Carl's Jr. Now he goes around saying "smile" and clicking the "shutter." Just like Daddy!
