Counting Sheep

You've heard it before "Mama, I can't sleep!"

Tonight I told Ben that maybe it would help to close his eyes and imagine counting something like stars in the sky or fluffy white sheep jumping over a fence.

He agreed and squinted his eyes shut.

"1,2,3,4,5...." he started out before his eyes popped open again. "What to know what I'm counting?"

"Sure" Hoping whatever it was would lull him to sleep.

"Rescue Heroes and secret agents punching in a secret code into a key pad. and after that I'm going to count me playing basketball and getting all the points to win the game. Then after that...'

Not exactly what I had in mind but it worked.
