Gregory is definitely his father’s son and his grandfather’s grandson. I’m sitting here on the bed with my laptop, doing a bit more work before dinner. Gregory climbed up next to me and sat down. At first he was talking to himself and making various noises - then I realized that it had gotten quiet all of a sudden.
I looked over and he was asleep where he sat - leaning back against our headboard.
See, we Vanderpol males have this innate ability to fall asleep at the drop of a hat, in any setting. It can be at a party, in the middle of a movie or even (if we’re really, really tired) at the table. If I lay in bed and it takes me more than ten minutes to fall asleep, it feels like it’s taking forever. (This used to annoy my wonderful wife, but she’s grown resigned accustomed to it.)
I’m glad you’re a part of our family, Gregory, and you’re keeping the torch alive (even if just in your dreams).

I seemed to gain that ability during my time in college, but now the only time it manifests itself is when I’m reading a book in bed, which is quite a bother. Jenn knows he fastest way to put me to sleep is to try to read to me.
