We each had the pleasure of taking turns putting Cassie to sleep this evening. Considering she didn't take her usual long nap today I thought putting her to sleep would be a breeze. What was I thinking? Instead of falling asleep in my arms like she normally she does, she insisted on spending the next 40 minutes poking at my eyes, my nose, her ear, her bellybutton, oh, and scratching at my face. Before I completely lost my patience and not to mention my mind, I took her upstairs to Papa. He spent the next half hour or so doing the same before taking her up to her crib, semi-asleep. Finally, out of frustration, and before he lost his mind, he gave up and left her to fall asleep in her crib, alone. We spent the next few minutes listening to her fake cries on the monitor and before we knew it, there was silence. At last, she was sound asleep! And it only took 5 minutes, yes 5 minutes! This girl has us fooled.
And further proof that she's smarter than us:
she was only willing to take a picture if we bribed her with a cookie.
At least you can bribe her with a cookie (which won't last long) Wait til she wants $ or expensive toys.
