Sleeping is Next To Godliness

When we were in Montreal, the two boys slept in two different bedrooms. And now, upon our return, after one night sleeping in the same room (Cassius's), Cassius insisted on sleeping by himself, much to Maceo's initial consternation. Maceo now sleeps in his room, Cassius in his, and they tend to sleep in later than when they were in the same room. We have, however, been having trouble with getting Cassius to just get in bed and go to sleep. Maceo appears to have inherited my (Nick's) ability to fall asleep rather quickly and easily, but Cassius is able to rile himself up and keep himself awake, leading to fights with us. Last night, I refused to come upstairs, leading him to yell and scream until Maceo came out of his room to complain. "Won't you come up, Daddy?" asked Maceo. "Nope," I said. Cassius stood next to Maceo sobbing, "I want a book." "Maceo can get you a book," I told him. "If you're not in bed in 1 minute, next time we go to the pool, you won't be allowed to swim." I walked out of sight downstairs and listened. "Maceo," whimpered Cassius, "Will you get me a book? And a tissue?" And that was the last I heard of them! Cross your fingers for tonight!
