Hmm, he might be tired. Good point, and to be honest, not something I had thought of since he's a little old for a nap. The kids tell me that they go to bed around 8 and get up around 8 as well, but maybe this isn't enough for him. I am going to offer him a lay down in my son's room from now on during quiet time...I am thinking even if I let him lay down with books, he may fall asleep.

A couple of times, he has fallen asleep while we are in the car, so maybe this will work!

I won't terminate, simply because they're only here for another 6 weeks, and to be perfectly frank, with only one other part timer right now, I need their income.

Thanks! I'll keep you updated.
