Mom. Mom. Mom.
Samantha took a 3 hour nap today. Which was a wonderful thing, while it was happening, and I got much done. But now, of course, it's two hours past bedtime and she's still wide awake.
Mom. Mom. Mom. I hear her chanting my name over the monitor. She doesn't *need* anything. We've read, brushed, pottied, tucked, kissed, and every other delay tactic in the book. She just doesn't want to go to bed.
Mom. Mom. Mom. She isn't crying yet, although she's starting to get that note in her voice. I went back one time, and said what do you want?
Mom. I love you. Mom. Mom. Mom.
It's tough to be three and have to go to bed when you aren't even tired.

Hey what a coincedence. My daughter was the same today. Although she is only two.
Aw... poor little thing. Why didn't you play her a Disney movie? That would have gotten her sleepy.
yeah kaylie slept the day away today cause she was sick so now at 10pm two hours after her bedtime she is away also.
I remember that about being young too. I almost fell asleep in the car (passenger) tonight. When I used to babysit my nephew that worked for him too.
I know all about those delay tactics. When my son doesn't want to do something, he's right there with that little face of his saying, "I love you, Momma. I want to hug you."
You want the little buggers to do what they're told, but I can never seem to resist that face and those words.
