Putting a 3.5 year old to bed can pose quite a challenge from time to time. Teagan still takes a nap at school so bed time after a nap is always much more challenging then the days without a nap. We admit we have never been extremely strict about bed and overall we read books and she makes her requests...some of which we comply with ...and then she does her thing in her room until she goes to sleep. I had to document a small sampling of the things she comes up with in the process. They often teeter on the edge of a necessity to be comfortable or a stall tactic. Either way, she is crafty!!
I am thirsty
That light is too bright
I want to wear different jammies
My baby is crying
I need an ice pack
These (stuffed) dogs are looking at me
This book pinched my fingers
I need a band-aid
I need a tissue
I forgot to go potty
Are the doors locked?
One more kiss (works every time)
Can you tell me another story?
We didn't do the Cars book (seek n find book she has memorized)
I need to clean up my room (at 930pm?!)
