Stalling tactics at bedtime - Gotta give 'em credit

"Mommy, I'm hungry. I need to finish my dinner." (hours after dinner)

"Mommy, I want to brush my teeth again."

"Mommy, I want to use the potty."

"Mommy, can I have some milk? Juice? Water then?"

"Mommy, leave the light on."
"Mommy, I want to go on an airplane."

"Mommy, turn on the music box."

"Mommy, sing "Rockabye Baby"

"Mommy, I want to goto Peekadoodle."

"Mommy, I love you."

"Mommy, I want to goto Tommy & Gavin's house."

That's it. I'm not typing in the quotation marks anymore, this list is too long and it would be too exhausting to type in the quotes - much like how exhausting this nightly ritual is.....

Mommy, one more kiss. Now a kiss through the crib slats. Now through this slat! One more through this slat.

Mommy, I pooped. I need a diaper change. I check. No poop. Oh. Nevermind! Thanks Mommy!

Mommy, turn off the music box.

Mommy, where's my reindeer?

Mommy, I want to sleep in your bed.

Mommy, my shirt is wet.

Mommy, I want to sleep with Piglet.
Mommy, are you happy?

Mommy, I want to go in Jake's car.

Mommy, where's Nee-whore? (Eeyore)

Mommy, covers!

Mommy, where's Kenya?
Mommy, I want to goto Grandma's house.

Mommy, one more book.

Mommy, sing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star"

Mommy, I don't want to goto sleep.

No kidding, kid! What usually works in keeping them quiet are Frank's threats to take away the reindeer (Cooper's) and polar bear (Jack's) stuffed animals. Yes, it's exhausting, but you've got to give those kids kudos for trying! What a fun/funny age!
