I don't know about anyone else, but putting my 4yr old to bed makes me soooooooo tired. I think she comes up with every excuse. First thing on the list will be story. I try to read a story just her and I. She is having some attention issues. I don't blame her. Next thing would be prayer, a special time for her to pray for what she has on her mind. It's starts off so sweet; thank you for my family, my friends, my grandparents, etc......THEN the mind wonders. Thank you for the light, tv, my pj's, I'm trying to stay focuse but by then I swear it's been 15 min. I finally have to shut her off. So, IN THE NAME WE PRAY is how she finishes. Mind you that was just #2 on our list. So about 5 min, I hear footsteps down the hall. MOMMY, yes I say: I LOVE YOU! I love you too, now you need to go to bed. About another 5 min, MOMMY: Go to bed I say. BUT I NEED TO TELL YOU SOMETHING: What I say WHEN IT"S MORNING TIME CAN I WATCH TV? We'll see I say This time I think is was about 2min, MOMMY: Go to bed; BUT I HAVE TO POTTY: So go 5min later I hear her coming, this time I look up and she is in different pj's. This goes on for 30 -45 min, I'M WORN OUT! Finally she's asleep, it's so quiet. Then the BABY wakes about 5min after she falls asleep. SO much for a quiet evening, I'm ready to CRASH. Got to love them, but man I still have 2 more who haven't turned 4 yet!
