Silence of the Sams(on)

No early morning wake-up call from young Samson today. In fact, by 6:45, although we thought we'd heard him stirring, there was no noise from his room. Vicki went in to wake him up and found him already awake, sitting in the corner of his crib "reading."

The nighttime ritual of a story before bed is pretty well established. And we knew Sam was a big fan of Spot. He also loves pop-up books (in a Godzilla in downtown Tokyo way), but this silent reading thing is new.

Aside from its manifest cuteness, it meant an extra half hour of sleep for dada (and mama). Talk about win-win. And this is just from a 10-page board book.

I bet we could sleep until noon if we left a copy of Moby-Dick in his crib...
