10 o'clock and all is well...

I love my kids. But after 10pm it seems harder and harder to express my appreciation for their creativity in coming up with new stall tactics.

After 7 it should be mommy's alone time. With an almost 5 year old that has already been pushed back to 8pm. Now my 2 year old is trying to weasel in on my alone time and finding new ways all the time to stall bed time. The classic I have to potty or one more glass of water just won't cut it for him. Tonight it's been potty trip, milk, juice, I need my bath duck, Yoshi (his stuffed yoshi) needs a kiss, the blanket fell off, this isn't the right blanket, I need a new bed, can I sleep with my sister, and a good dozen other excuses.

Normally it wouldn't be a big deal but mommy was up until 1 last night with a baby and when everyone was taking a nap I was playing catch up on the laundry. So momma wants to sleep.

Wait. There is finally silence coming from his room!

Sleep well,
Yasha
