A first

So we were sitting down watching Wipe Out tonight with Carter, as we normally do on Tuesday nights, when out of the blue Carter gets off the couch, turns off the TV and said he wanted to "go night-nights"!! Yeah. . . how random is that?! He totally started walking to his room and everything.

You would think we would be like SWEET! and put him to bed, but no, we were really into the show and bribed him with cheesecake to sit back down and finish watching it with us. I'm sure we just lost a few points in the parent contest.

He tried going to bed again like 10 min. later but we persuaded him to keep on watching. Have you seen the show? IT's funny! And we didn't want to miss any of it. How selfish are we? Of course once the show was over he wanted nothing to do with going to bed. I guess that's what we deserve though, eh?

I had a bunch more written, but the stupid internet went out and I lost all of it. Now I'm too emotionally and physically exhausted to write it again. Just know that a lot of venting took place.

That is funny. That is our guilty pleasure on Tuesday's as well. And I felt the same way, Lily was sooo tired and wanted to go to bed, but we just kept saying, "watch!" this is funny. I think she failed to see the humor, but we love that show too! It's pretty hilarious!

Bridger is having major sleep issues. I wish he'd ask to go to bed. I think I would start singing Hallelujahs and rejoicing if that were to happen. It's this terrible two stuff, I am terrified at times to be adding another child into my care...I hope we make it!!!! LOL

That is cute. Why is it that when you want them to stay up...they want to go to bed. But when you need or want them to go to bed...they aren't having it?? Ironic.

I love that show too!!! It makes me laugh so much. But that is amazing that Carter wanted to go sleep while you were intensely watching the show, I can just picture it. That's too funny.
