October 20, 2009 "Is Daddy back from the kitchen yet?"

We are all adjusting to our family's new schedule with Julia going to Undercroft Montessori M-F from 8-11:30am. So shortly after dinner Meme brings Julia up to get ready for bed around 8pm and Daddy cleans the kitchen, clears the dining table, takes out the garbage, etc. Well, last night Julia was a bit overly tired and just wanted to brush her hair in front of the mirror and not get into her princess bed, so Meme called me up to talk to our daughter. I spoke with Julia and reiterated what Mommy had said - it's time for bed, you need your rest for school, Mommy will hold your hand to sleep, Daddy needs to finish cleaning the kitchen, etc and then I'll be up to bed in a bit. Okay, Julia laid down in her princess bed and fell asleep within 3 minutes. Meme and I got to watch some TV on DVR after I was done in the kitchen and we went to bed around 11:30pm. Julia woke up "for a sip of water" around 1:30am and clearly asked "Is Daddy back from the kitchen yet?" We can't get away with anything with our 3 year old!! LOL!!!
