The other night, I was lying down with the daughter. She was fidgeting, using her talking "Oobi" hand, having a delightful conversation with her stuffed animal & telling me she wasn't tired. I knew she was.
I began to tell her it was time for bed & she needed her sleep. After all my talking, she still claimed she wasn't tired. I rested my head gently on my pillow and with my eyes closed, I thought I might apply a tactic that has worked for me in other situations. I told her that "whoever falls asleep first, wins!". A few seconds later, she chuckled and said "are you playing a game?".
She won the "game". She fell asleep so fast after that! Funny how that stuff can be so successful sometimes & fall completely flat other times. Now, when she goes down for a nap or to bed, she brings up the game. She's been winning a lot lately. ;)
Another funny Princess Fluffyfart thing - Tuesday, Dock rented movies. He brought home Wall*E. Our wonderful little girl acted as if she was uninterested with a hidey smirk on her face. A few moments later, she told her daddy:
"If you brought home Kung Fu Panda, I would say I wanted Wall*E. If you brought home Wall*E, I would say I wanted Kung Fu Panda. I wanted Kung Fu Panda."

What a stinker:-) Hee, hee, hee.
It's one thing for US big people to figure out their little logic, but I have never ever heard one of them flat out say it! Oh, the joys of living with a miniature master mind! We are currently in the world of 2 yr old "Me pick!"everything. Yeah, I need a vacation.
I'm totally borrowing your who goes to sleep first game! It's worth a try! =)
i'm going to try that game too, miss 3 is a shocker!
The earrings got their first outing on Friday, beautiful!
You know whats sad? By the time you think you have them figured out...they are half grown and starting new crazy things...I'm lost again!
We have Walle, but no Kung Fu Panda yet.
I love the who-can-be-quiet-the-longest game!
She is adorable I love her spirit!!
Had to come back and tell you, tried that game 3 times, first two, it worked like a charm! 3rd time, I thought she was asleep, grabbed the laptop, she rolls over and says "I win!"
What a cute little stinker!
I hope that you had a wonderful Christmas and have a happy new year!
