Book And Sleep

As soon as I picked Brandon up from school, even before he said hello, he asked me to take him to Hershey library to get some book. Usually I have to talk kids into going so I was very happy Brandon asked me to take him. He had the whole list of topics he wanted to take books about. I directed him to the shelves where to find them and then he wanted to go to big kids section. He picked two books (one was Harry Potter) and I said we could take the books if he would be ok for me to look up to see if they are age appropriate (there is no way to tell in the library).

When we got home and I checked, I said he could not read two books: Harry Potter was recommended for at least 10 year old and another book was about a boy whose parents were murdered and he had to go into hiding from the gang. Why would any child want to read a book like that?? It would give me nightmares just to think about it, which I told him. He was upset he could not read them but at the end he was ok with that.

Around 9.30 when I was reading in bed, Brandon came up to me and said I had been right and he was having nightmares from the book (he did not read). He asked if he could sleep with me (yes) but I would have the light on. He did not mind it. I forgot how he sleeps with his eyes half open (or half closed?)
I love him to pieces!
