We won't do that again!

Jaden was invited to spend the night at a friend's house after the Fall Festival last night. He would be coming home at noon the following day, in plenty of time to get school work done (or so I thought), so I let him go.

Big mistake!

Jaden came home so tired today that I had to send him to bed for a two-hour nap! Afterwards, he started on his schoolwork, but by then it was already 3 o' clock. Jaden explained that he couldn't help being tired; he had woken up at 5 AM and just "couldn't get back to sleep!" Poor baby.

So, lesson duly learned: we'll allow sleepovers only on non-school nights in the future.
