double trouble mom

The girls go to bed between 7:30-8:00 most nights and usually stay up and read for about 20min or so.  Erika sometimes will be up later then 8:30 reading so I have to reminder her its light out.  Well tonight I forgot to go in there around 8:30 and instead went in their room to make sure they were all tucked in at 9:00.  I found Erika still awake with a stack of books by her side. 

I told her it was time for bed and she needed to shut her light off.  She told me that she just had one more book to read.  From the larger pile next to her it looked as though she had already read 20 books.  I asked if she had read all of those and she said yep I did.  Then she point to the pile and said ‘that one is a long book.’  I looked over the pile and noticed there was a grade school book Ryan had from school that is 500 pages long.  She sat there and look over the entire book so no wonder its 9:00 and she isn’t sleeping yet.
I giggled and told her one more book and its time for bed.  I think we have a book worm on our hands.
