Occasionally Elizabeth will complain about why she and Sarah have to go to bed so much earlier than we (her parents) do. We have explained to her that young children need more sleep because they are still growing.
Tonight this discussion came up again at bedtime. She asked me again why children need more sleep. “Because if children need more sleep, why do you and Papa never want to get out of bed when Sarah and I come to your bed in the morning? Maybe you need more sleep.”
I didn’t know what to say in response…but maybe I should try to go to bed a little earlier!
