Sleep 'til you're hungry, eat 'til you're sleepy. - Author Unknown
I think Eli might be one of the best examples of this observation. His internal clock wakes him up everyone morning sometime around 6 with an almost immediate request for cereal (his all time favorite food). Unfortunately, there is no snooze button for a child who wants breakfast. So inevitably we make our way to the kitchen to retrieve cereal and coffee (no, the coffee is for me).
In this one rare instance however, Eli took the second half of the above quote literally. He actually deserted his cereal in favor of an early bed time. After a long day of playing his heart out, and on the heels of recovering from an illness, this poor boy was beyond sleepy, he was exhausted. He fell into a deep sleep and didn't wake back up until the next morning.
