So lately, Nathaniel has started retreating to their closet to read at night. He just takes his pillow in there and reads until he's sleepy, then goes to bed.
A few nights ago, he got so sleepy he just keeled over and sacked out right there in the closet.
He was bunched up like a roly poly in there, because the closet is barely wider than he is. When we discovered him in there about 10:30, I woke him up to see if he wanted to move to the bed. The answer was "Yes."
I don't think he opened his eyes between the closet and the bed, though. Reminds me of the time when I was his age and my dad heard me get up to use the bathroom around 10 or 11:00 at night. He thought it sounded a little strange, though, and when he walked in to check on me, I was sitting on the trash can with my eyes closed, peeing.
You are so very welcome for that mental image.

I used to read in my closet too! What a perfect little spot for him, even if he does fall asleep.
And last night I got a 6 minute video of my husband sleep walking, and I had to stop him from peeing in our closet! Priceless, I tell ya!
omigosh what a cutie! my girls love to read - thankfully they are in separate rooms, but they keep wanting to bunk together - maybe I can tell them this story to convince them to stay separate :)
That's hilarious. Reminds me of the time I woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and got disoriented and ended up in my mom's closet.
I never read in my closet, but I certainly read under my covers with a flashlight for years! With the new baby on the way, Nathaniel may be getting his own room, after all. We'll see!
