Lights Out

So the newly environmentally conscious kid we have here (Vinny) has decided (finally) that he sleeps better with his light OFF! It has been about a year that he has been sleeping with his light on. He had two night lights and then moved to sleeping with his main room light on also. For a while I would go shut it off before we went to bed, but then we would end up with a little boy sneaking into bed with us in the middle of the night. I started just leaving it on and he got much better at staying in his room all night (at least much more often). Lately, he had been staying in his room all night no problem and this week he started wanting his light off. Monday night he got up at some point and shut it off himself and Tuesday he asked that we shut it off when we left the room. Not sure what brought it about, but he really has become very energy conscious. He shuts off the tv and lights when he leaves a room (or at least a level). We have soo many light switches in the basement that he gets frustrated when he can't find the right switch to get them all off and won't come up until we come help him (and it is hard for us to find all the right ones too).

Unfortuneately, he has a cold now and ended up in our room last night because he couldn't breathe very well. Just real stuffy and has not been able to master the art of nose blowing! Hopefully, once he gets better he will go back to sleeping all night in the dark.
