Stalling

Here it is, bed time again. My five year old daughter is attempting to stall, as usual. Tonight I thought that I had beaten her at the game. I got her drink, fed her a snack, did the entire bed time routine, and yet, she managed to think of something else that she needed. I knew she would.

I went into the room to bring her that ever elusive piece of cloth that she calls a blanket, and I find that she has turned on her lights. Again. I am pretty frustrated, so I unscrewed the light bulbs. Burnt my fingers too! I am the mommy and I will win.

The truly funny thing about her bed time tonight is that I set it. I know that she will stall for a half an hour, so I bumped the time up a half an hour! We usually put her to bed at 7:30 and she doesn't fall asleep till about 8. Tonight, I started the routine before 7:00 so she would fall asleep sooner. I win! I only dread the day when she learns to tell time.
