For the last few weeks our bedtime routine has included the following:
Mommy: Ok Reagan, it's time to go to sleep now.
Reagan: ONE MORE MINUTE! (She always asks for one more minute of cuddle time no matter how long we cuddle.)
Mommy: No. How about we sing a song instead?
Reagan: TWO SONGS, MOMMY!
Mommy: No. I said one. You choose.
Reagan: NO, Mommy! TWOOOOOOO!
Mommy: (sighing) OK, fine. Which two?
Reagan: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Jesus Loves the Little Children!
And we sing.
Tonight I embraced it as the tradition it is turning into, instead of one more thing that has to be done before she falls asleep.
Mommy: Ok Reagan, it's time to sleep now.
Reagan: ONE MORE MINUTE!
Mommy: How about we sing one song instead?
Reagan: NO! TWO, MOMMY!
Mommy: Ok, which two? (As though I don't know....)
Reagan: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Jesus Loves the Little Children!
And we sing.
I hope I get a million more nights like this.
