It has taken 9 months and many, Many, MANY conversations about blankets and sheets but tonight for whatever reason it finally clicked and Lucas is sleeping under the sheets. Not on top of them, not on top his comforter, between the fitted and the flat sheets.
Looking at pictures of their beds at the orphanage and taking into consideration that it's usually hot in Zamboanga, bedding was not something they had. I'd finally just given up and decided it was one of those battles that really doesn't matter and we'd replace his comforter when it fell apart in the washer. Now to see where we find him in the morning.
Side note: you know the phrase, "a light bulb went off"? That is the expression that literally goes across the boys' faces when a concept finally sinks in. Even before they say anything, you can tell by the "light bulb" expression that they get it. It's really cool!
