Should children under 12 be allowed to set their own bedtime? Response from Hunter Atwood;

I think kids under twelve should TOTALLY get to choose their bedtime because I think kids have the freedom to set their bedtime to whenever they would like. I think this helps because, first of all, they get to have some time without Mom and Dad. This helps kids get a visual on what it's like to be an adult. As kids mature, they get their own independence and can set their own bedtime. Now, will you be smart and let your child set his/her bedtime or be overprotective and choose their bedtime for them?

 You know summer is just around the corner when you can start meeting friends at the swimming pool!! We would swim all day, but for the fact that we need to finish school before we head off for an amazing summer vacation in two weeks.

 We were able to spend time with our friends, the Fowlers, for the Kentucky Derby. We all picked horses for the race - Hunter's horse I"ll Have Another won - he got $10.00. It was a great night!!

We had a chance to tour The Hermitage, home of Andrew Jackson. I will say personally that I enjoyed Mount Vernon a little better, but you can't go wrong with either. It was a beautiful estate and the kids learned a lot from the audio tour.
