Unprecedented Bedtime

So this evening a couple of friends came over to watch Twilight while Josh was at the HUB (Wednesday night service @ UBC.) We began the movie about 7:00 so both kids were awake, Lilli went down relatively easily before 8:00. Roy usually goes to bed about 8:30 but when 8:30 came and I asked him if he was ready for bed he declined so I let him stay up a bit longer. At 8:45 I told him he could play for 5 more minutes and set a timer. I explained that when it beeped it was time for bed. A couple minutes in to it I noticed him walk away from his train table and head to his bedroom. A few seconds later I heard a small frustrated voice saying "nigh-nee, paci!" so I went to check on him to see what he was up to. What I found amazed me, he was in his bed looking for his pacifier so he could go to sleep! After finding him a new pacifier he said goodnight to our friends and hopped back in bed where I tucked him in, said his prayers and kissed him goodnight. I can only pray that all parents experience a bedtime as fluid as tonight! A minute or so after I sat back down to finish the movie, the timer went off.
