No More All Nighters

And this is what happens when you get up at midnight to play pbskids.org until 5:00 in the morning.

Did I mention that he never actually went to sleep before midnight either. Yeah, he pulled an all nighter. Then, when I woke him up after a 2 hour nap (his first since he was 2 years old) he said, "I wasn't really asleep. I was just pretending." Right. For 2 hours.
