Even the kids, who are night owls, are admitting they're tired. Our 11-year-old is having trouble getting up in the morning. Our languorous eight-year-old has offered to drop ballet lessons so she can get more rest. And our three-year-old has taken to muttering, "I'm exhausted...
...Marsha Bristow Bostick of Columbus remembers noticing with alarm last summer that her three-year-old daughter Betsy had memorized an awful lot of TV commercials. The toddler announced that she planned to take ballet lessons, followed by bride lessons. That helped inspire her mother, then 37, to quit her $150,000-a-year job as a marketing executive.

...evidence comes from the leg bone of a three-year-old child buried in a cemetery 70 miles north of Rome in the empire's waning days, circa A.D. 450. The remains were among some four dozen small skeletons--mostly of infants or stillbirths--excavated there in the early 1990s by University of Arizona archaeologist David Soren and colleagues. Because so many of the babies were preemies, and all seem to have been interred at about the same time, Soren suspected a malaria epidemic...
