No...I wont go to sleep!!


Yes, thats what Sadie was thinking tonight as the clock ticked and still she refused to sleep. She started out with Daddy in the living room. I was in the bedroom on the lap top trying to get my progress notes completed for tomorrow. I could hear Sadie whining out with Daddy and I just continued to type and try and block her whine out. But I was thinking, "Why cant Skip just get her to sleep? How hard is it" Well, I would find out because Skip brought her in at 8 pm and plopped her non-sleepy giggling body on our bed. He said she was refusing to go to bed and needed me to put her down so he could go eat. So I just gave in and scooped the wiggle worm up and told her it was time to sleep. She moved her head from side to side. She kicked her feet in the air. She whined. She hit. She laughed. She ate peanuts in bed with me. She played with Ernie and called him Ellie. She cryed when Ernie got a little too rough with her. She ate more peanuts. She laughed at Jager who was snoring under the bed. She watched TV. She hit Mommy again so I put her in her crib and left the room. When I came back, she whined. She told me, "Up!" So I bargained with her...not a good idea...especially with a one year old...I told her if she came back to my bed she had to go to sleep. I plopped her down with a giant Winnie the Pooh and gave her a mushy pillow. She likes to put things over her eyes while she drifts off to sleep. And finally...she fell asleep! So here I am, on the computer writing about the little girl who would not go to sleep!
