Reading and Sleeping Brothers

Aaron's ability to read has increased exponentially this school year, and he doesn't mind sharing this talent with Edward. The boys are still feeling the effects of DST, so they weren't ready for bed at the usual time. Initially, Aaron asked if he could read silently in bed; but I guess it progressed to reading several books with Eddie on his makeshift "picnic bed."

Ed hasn't slept much in his own bed lately; he often sneaks in with Aaron on the lower bunk, often sleeping in the most unusual positions (like at the foot of the bed, with his feet hanging over the edge, nearly touching the floor--this kid can sleep in almost any circumstance when he's tired). He's also been falling asleep in the car during the middle of the day when Meg or I take him with us to run an errand--maybe he's entering a growth spurt, or perhaps he is wise beyond his years and knows that the household's sleep patterns might change with the new addition in April, so he's getting it any way he can.
