Isaac very often wears his wolf suit. And makes mischief of one kind and other. But he's never been sent to bed without his supper. Yet.
Anne gave Max I mean Isaac a Calvin and Hobbes book for Christmas. He loves it. I started finding it beside his bed in the morning. I would move the book to see where it would be the next morning. It was always back by his bed the next morning. Soon a flashlight started showing up with the book. Isaac started being less and less cooperative during the day and the dark circles under his eyes became very apparent.
One morning the book and the flashlight weren't there. I was nice enough to straighten up his bed. Aaahhh, there they were: under the pillow.
I needed to take things into my own terrible claws. So one night about half an hour after putting Isaac to bed, I snuck back into Isaac's room. He was rolled up into a cocoon snoring loudly. I was almost convinced...until I found the Calvin and Hobbes book under his cocoon and, searching a little harder, I found the flashlight waiting for me...
...and it was still hot.

This just means that Isaac is prepping himself for graduate school.
Maybe you could start putting him to bed an hour earlier!
Mark, that would be the least-sarcastic remark I've heard from you. Aren't you supposed to say, "Well, that habit will serve Isaac well when he's in the clanker at 18 and he wants to read after 'lights-out'"?
Bekah, good idea. 5:30 bedtime from now on.
