December Days - 12.14.10

In our house, when we have some exciting event to look forward to we don't measure the time in a 'days until' fashion.  It's always measured in 'sleeps', that is the number of times we will go to sleep before the anticipated day or event.

For the last couple weeks, we've been counting down sleeps until we get to go home to Oregon and visit family for the holidays.  This countdown has been especially tough on Kyron and all he has been talking about for the past 3 days/sleeps is when we get to go to Oregon.  He's even been in tears because he doesn't think it is coming fast enough.

He gave his mom the solution this morning though when he wanted to continue sleeping at nearly 10am in the morning: "If I just stay in bed I can sleep until we go to Oregon, then it's only 1 sleep!"

You've got to love the mind and reasoning of a 5 year old!
