My usual threat for Peyton when she's cranky is "Is it time to go night-night?" To which is often responds, with a vigorous head-shake in the negative and tries to smarten up a little. Nap time has previously been a hard thing to deal with for a little girl who is afraid to miss one moment of the day. :)
Today - however - she turned into a teenager.
She was kinda whiny while I was trying to do some reading. So I leveled the ultimatum.
She started to shake her head and then paused as she considered it. She then looked at me, cocked her head to the side and said, "Night-night."
Whhaaaaa???
So I waited a minute to see if she would follow through - and sure-enough, she headed for her bedroom. She turned around halfway across the kitchen as if to say, "Why aren't you coming?" and again said - more forcefully this time - "Night-night." and pointed in the direction of her room.
Oooo-kay.
I thought she was bluffing. But I followed her into her room, where she pointed at her crib and said it again. I thought she'd cry or something when I lay her down - but nope - other than one little cough, I haven't heard a peep in 15 minutes.
So I quickly got my workout clothes on and am going to milk this free time for all it's worth!
Talk to you soon!
