This is a great observation. I watched my (then) 4 and 1 year-old kids the summer after my first year of med school. It took me about 2 days to decide it was time to install this operating system called Linux I'd heard about. I could read while they were awake, but could only dive deeper when they were asleep, which was not much time at all. So I agree with you, and I'll up that to say that things don't really get easier as they get older, because they sleep less. You'd think the older they get, the more time you'd have, but, at least at 4 and 7, it really just means they can climb higher, fall further, hit harder, and break bigger things.
