A note to my 3 (almost 4) year old Evan

Tonight as I visited your room for the umpteenth time during bedtime (and I can assure you that I wasn't very happy when I did so), you said to me, "But I don't want to sleep, I just want to play." And then it occurred to me: You're only 3 (almost 4)! As grown up as you appear (and sound) sometimes, in reality, you're just a child who wants to play. And while that's hard for me to understand, I know it must be hard for you to understand just how important my quiet time is to me (I can assure you, it's really important; you'll understand one day, and I'll say "Ha! See!").
