Stall Tactics
The children are trying to incorporate stall tactics into their nightly routine. Tonight after several other attempts to delay us leaving the three in their cribs for the night (needing socks, needing the Cheerios book), Mazie cried that her nose was itchy and she needed ice on it. When H relented and brought her a small piece of ice, Lucia's nose was all of a sudden very itchy and she needed a piece of ice for it. After all that, I went to tell Elliott good night. He was standing in his crib trying to tell me something. I asked him, "What is it, Baby? What do you need?" He very quietly said, "Dessert."

Precious...doesn't get any better, although I could use a little ice for my back?...no takers, of course. Miss and love you all!
last night throughout the bedtime process avery was soooo out of her mind tired and was crying for a "treat", very similar to dessert, only she didn't ask nicely like elliott did. it was more "treat, i want a treat, wahwahwahwahwah." i did not cave although a little chocolate might have shut her up. i say "shut her up" in the most loving way possible. :)
