Then he turns off the light when he’s ready to fall asleep. It’s dim enough that the ambiance is relaxing, so he can wind down. I feel like the lamp also gives him ownership of his bedtime routine. While the novelty of having an accessible lamp in his room hasn’t quite worn off yet, meaning he likes to turn it on and off and on and off, I love that Chulengo lies in his bed and reads before falling asleep. ![]() I went into Target for a birthday card and came out with a lamp… darn it Target, lol.
