Fingernails

Like most children this time of the year, Quinn is not real excited to go to bed at night because the sun is still shining at 7pm when we try to get him to bed.

Regardless we try, and for the most part, he does a good job. But, once we put him into bed (when we know he is tired), we have the rule that he has to stay in his room. If he wants to stay up, he can read books or something of the like.

When he comes out, we try to at least give him the chance to tell us whether something is wrong (e.g. bad dream). He is used to this question, and last night, when he slowly walked to the living room, he looked at us and told us what was wrong before we could even ask:

'Mama, my fingernails are too long...can you cut them so I can sleep?'
