It's just after six in the morning. Henry and I are walking the dog along the Confederation Trail. The sun is just starting climb over the trees.
Me: You took a long time to fall asleep last night.
Henry: Yup.
Me: Everything okay?
He sighs.
Henry: It just takes forever to fall asleep. I just can't stop thinking about things.
Me: And then you start to worry that you're thinking too much about things, and then it's an hour later and you're still awake.
Henry: Yes! It's just like that.
The trail here is intersected by a street. Henry hits the button to activate the pedestrian crossing. We walk across and continue on the trail. Our feet crunch in the gravel.
Me: So what is it you're thinking about that's keeping you awake?
Henry: Mostly Lego.
