Yesterday evening, I went up for bed and saw that The Peanut's light was still on, even though we'd sent her up to bed a little over an hour beforehand. I opened her door and poked my head in to see why on earth she was still awake.
She emerged from her pillow and blanket nest and smiled at me. When I asked why she was still awake when it was getting late and she had school in the morning, she said:
Sorry, mom. I didn't know what time it was. I was lost in the land of reading.
It was at that moment that I knew I was succeeding on some level as a parent. You have to love that, don't you?
