Sleep

My nephew, Jayden, is in 5th grade. He recently had a school assignment to write about the subject of sleep and how important it is. This is my favorite part:

     I have noticed with my two little brothers that their behavior is really bad when they are tired and whiny. A short nap does wonders for their attitude. When my Mom hasn’t had enough rest we have to be really good so she won’t start yelling. She has trouble getting enough sleep because my two little brothers keep waking up through the night.

     My teenage sister thinks she can stay up all night, but she is snappy and irritable the next day. She stays in her room and usually ends up asleep in the afternoon. In conclusion, we all need to go to bed earlier to get more sleep.

Here’s a picture of him hamming it up from a couple Christmases ago:

my nephew, cheesing

I love this kid.
