Morgan has been "making me" lie in bed with her, as she tries to go to sleep, but she talks and talks and talks...here are some excerpts: (M=Morgan, S=Me)
M: What is a period?
S: It's a punctuation mark that tells you when the sentence is done.
M: It's a circle!
M: Remember on Little Bear when the can of paint falls on his head and they ask, "Are you all white?" (She laughs loudly) That was pretty funny!
M: Let's sing a song together and maybe that will help me fall asleep...(She begins a round of "Twinkle, Twinkle" and I join in...)
M: I want to dream about butterflies and rainbows, but no sun, because it's too bright...
S: You need the sun's light to have a rainbow.
M: Oh, OK, then...
M: I want to hold you for a while (proceeds to put me in a head lock...)
M: Can you say, "1...2...3...4"?
S: 1...2...3...4
M: Good job, Mommy, you did it!! Can you say "1...2...3...4...5"?
S: 1...2...3...4...5
M: OK, can you say "1...2...3...4...5...6?
(This pattern continues on all the way up to 12, at which point she counts up to 19, then I say 20 and she counts to 29 and I say 30, etc., all the way to 80...)
S: 3 more minutes and I have to go...
M: NO! 4 more minutes...5 more minutes...!
S: 1 more minute...
M: OK, 3 more minutes...
(Of course, she does not let me go after the 3 minutes passed...)
M: Mommy, I love you. I love you every day.
S: I love you every day, too, Sweetie Baby.
M: (gives me a squeeze) Awww, Mommy, you're so cute!
This is how she gets me!
