Bedtime last night

Phillip and I have been working all summer on bedtime with David and trying to be stricter at bedtime and spanking when needed. Tuesday and Wednesday nights I do bedtimes by myself and I just can't help it, but I can't do anything strict. Half the time, I am trying not to laugh! I mean, how else could I respond to this? All of this is last night...

Coming out of his room to find me... Excuse number #1: "So, I am supposed to think about things, count lambs, and then I will sleep?"

Number 2: "I don't need this tissue. No thank you for this tissue mama."

Number 3: "I can't find (HUGE SOBS AND REAL TEARS) my lamby"

Number 4: "I am having a hard time sleeping mama."

He did not come out again or I just didn't hear him. I was listening to my Ipod and was sleeping before him I am sure!!

hang in there, we just went through this, and stuck with it....now it is WONDERFUL getting her to bed at a decent hour, and even taking some naps! :) I know, I know....those things he says are pretty precious. ;)

We just went through it too...no fun. We found that we had to get mean (I suppose strict is a better word, but Abbie thought we were mean). It was the only thing she responded to.
