Worn out Luke

Wednesday, January 29

This evening for scouts, the Deacons went to our city fitness center and ran the mile for the personal fitness merit badge and then they went swimming for the remainder of the time there.  Luke still needed to pass the BSA swimmer test for his rank advancement so he had asked his leaders ahead of time if he could do it during that time.  They said that would be fine so after Luke ran the mile he went down and was able to pass the BSA swimmer test.  I was really impressed that he took it upon himself to do that on his own and that he actually passed!  He was quite exhausted (and hungry) when he came home and he somehow managed to fall asleep on the couch while we were watching T.V.  I tried to wake him up to get him to move to his bed but he wouldn't wake up easily, so I removed his glasses and he kind of jerked awake for a few seconds but then fell right back asleep again.  He said that he woke up around 1:30 in the morning and went to his bed at that time (it took him a few seconds to realize where he was).
