Below are the diary logs of the Little No-Sleeper, an adorable munchkin known to scoot around the floor and gobble up anything and everything he finds on the floor. Lately it has been discovered that the little No-Sleeper has developed the habit of no sleeping in his mom and dad's bed; a habit which, because of some type of sleep-deprived, delirium, has been allowed by the mother and father, but will no longer be allowed.
