Little Walking Feet

Every time I think Jacob has outgrown sleepwalking, he does it again.

Tonight he walked into the homeschool room, dropped his puppy and blanket, and then went into the kitchen, where I saw him. I asked him if he had to go to the bathroom, and he replied "Yes", and then proceeded to the pantry. That's when I knew he was sleepwalking again. It's been a couple of months. I directed him to the bathroom, but he turned around and walked out of it, so I just guided him back to bed. He will have no memory of this in the morning.

Wish I could train him to clean during these episodes. His room is a mess and my pantry needs organizing.

A Little Bribery Always Works....

Jacob has never liked to read. He even said he hated books. Reading was definitely not something he would do 'just for fun'. All that changed with a single purchase: a REALLY BIG beanbag chair. I mean HUGE. Big enough for all 3 of them.

I put it next to the bookcase and said they could only sit in it if they were reading. It didn't take long before Jacob got a book and tried it out. He read an entire chapter book in one day!!

That must be one comfy beanbag chair.
