Simon's desk

Simon had been asking for a desk in his bedroom for a long time, but we were hesitant because that was back when Simon was still having a lot of trouble staying in bed at night, and we didn't want to encourage it by enabling him to stay up all night drawing pictures. We were also trying to use it as a reward for him staying in bed and not waking us up in the middle of the night.

Finally, after over a year of his nighttime antics, Simon pretty much stays in bed at night and wakes us up rarely. We figured that was good enough, and we were tired of having the desk in our room (we'd bought it used in April on one of our shopping dates while my parents watched the kids).

Simon was pretty thrilled to have his own desk, and got right to work decorating it and populating it with all the supplies he thought he would need.
