Every night now, C reads books to E. Usually she is in her upper "bunk" while E is in her lower berth...but we just bought this
new reading light for E at IKEA. Since it was a cool new gadget, C was reading right in bed with E. Once it got quiet, this was the scene we found:

Ohhh. This is a precious picture. What a blessing they are to each other. Some of my fondest memories are of watching my kids sleep. They even have a sleepy smell that I would inhale all the way to my heart. PS I love the light, too.
We have the same light for the bottom bunk. Top bunk is a seashell. Last night, Eamon and Aine were reading to each other until Dave came to tuck them into bed.
C's top bunk light is the moon...back in Iowa, we had the cloud light for the overhead, and the moon on the wall. Fun look.
Sweet sleepy heads! L has a string of red pepper lights courtesy of New Mexico relatives. She loves to stay up and read under them, too.
What a good idea! Maybe we should try something like this, too. I have absolutely no problem with my kids reading themselves to sleep (I did), though I prefer them to stay in bed while they do it. What a great way to accomplish two things at once. :)
