Last Night

I was told to try an even earlier bedtime.

6:00 p.m.  Dinner

7:00 p.m.  Head upstairs for baths

7:30 p.m.  In bed

7:40 p.m.  I check on Taylor and she tells be that she wants more time to read to Maxine.

7:50 p.m.  Taylor comes downstairs and hands me a pair of feather earrings.
Taylor: Mom, I got these for you! They are so soft!
Me: Taylor, did you go in my room?
T: *rolls eyes* Well, they weren't in MY room and they weren't in SISSY'S room... I got them from your room.  Sissy helped me.
Then, she went back up to bed by herself.

8:05 p.m.  We hear talking but assume it is the girls "silently" reading to their "friends."

8:10 p.m.  Jaden calls us upstairs because Taylor won't stay out of her room.

8:15 p.m.  Taylor has to go potty for the 150,346,257th time.

8:25 p.m.  Taylor is refusing to get into bed.

8:30 p.m.  Taylor gives in and lays down with her eyes closed as long as I hold her hand.  I hold it for about 2 seconds and then hand the job off to Maxine.

8:40 p.m.  Getting frustrated with my child for not wanting to go to bed.

8:50 p.m.  She's snoring.

10:00 p.m.  I go to bed.

5:15 a.m.  My alarm goes off.  I jump up and look to the floor.  Taylor is not there!  I go to her room and she is still fast asleep!

HALLELUJAH!!!

Taylor is spending the night with Gramma J tonight.  Yeah, she's taking one for the team.
