Typical bedtime

Bella has learned in her short life that she, (like any other kid) can drag out the bedtime process quite a bit. Usually I threaten to sell her to the gypsies but since I was in a good mood today I found it very funny and thought I would track what she did and share her typical routine.

8:30

Me: "Bella, it's bedtime."

Bella: "Can I play for just one more minute?"

8:45

Me: "OK, Bella. Times up."

Bella: "But mom, I didn't get to play very long."

8:48

Bella: "Mom, I can't pick a pair of Jammie's. Will you help me?"

8:50

Bella: "Can I just come with you to pick out Emma's Jammie's?"

Me: "You can go potty and get a drink and meet me downstairs."

Bella: "But I don't have to potty!!!"

9:00

Me: "OK, Emma is ready for bed. Go pick your story and brush teeth."

9:10

Bella: "Just one more story mom?!?! Please, you tell the best stories."

9:15

Me: "Okay, That's it do you need anything? Drink? Potty? Rapunzel doll?"

Bella: "No, Mommy. I love you. Night."

Shut the door....

9:16

Bella: "Mom, I can't find Rapunzel!!"

9:17

Bella: "Mom, I forgot to go potty!"

9:20

Bella:"Mom, I need a drink!!!!"

Me: No! You told me you don't need anything. So you are not getting a drink. You need to get that before you get into bed."

Shut the door.....

9:21

Bella: "Mommy, won't give me a drink. E-I-E-I-O. I am so thirsty. E-I-E-I-O. Mommy, won't give me a drink. E-I-E-I-O. Mommy, won't give me a drink. E-I-E-I-O"

Then she switches her tune

"Yo Ho, Yo Ho. A thirsty life for me!"

9:40

She is still singing about her mean old Mommy.

Me: "OKAY! JUST ONE DRINK!"

And somewhere around 10:00

Her and Rapunzel pass out, and look like this sweet angel!

Isn't she so precious when she is sleeping?!
