Franjo.. I do take them fishing and to cricket on occasions. I guess I let them do it because I am not home much and it was something interesting and different (besides, I didn't think I could do it to myself).

I think I am alot like you are, I would sleep til lunch time if I could. I have never been a morning person.

Rebecarooni, The paediatrician put Dan on the clonidine, didn't do anything for him. There are quite a few kids that do benefit from it though. We are having more luck with phenergan (promethazine) at the moment. He has no trouble staying asleep, it is just the amount of sleep he was getting. The melatonin worked quite well, we had him on it for about a year. The phenergan is working better. He gets 9-10 hrs with it.

Dan has just started grade 1. He was excited when we told him he didn't have to go on the weekend. Homework starts this week (all four kids). I'll be getting home from work just in time to supervise the lot.

-10 degrees??? I would never get out of bed with that type of temperature.
