The FP Gal mentioned that we had a lovely evening tonight (I paid her to use the word 'wonderful'). Her post ended the time-line too early though. Relia decided that she would like to get back up and calmly banged on her door until the FP Gal went up to lay with her.
Then she decided that she just wasn't going to sleep until we let her come down with us. That meant turning the TV from the CBS's grisly murder show and watching some Sesame St (God bless Tivo!). We watched an episode that includes this gorgeous duet between Aaron Neville and Ernie. I'm not a big Aaron Neville fan but I really like singing high tenor again.
Then back to bed and some reading. This mirror book has become a favorite. She usually likes to bug her eyes out and stick out her tongue, like the book encourages. Not tonight. Finally we had a standoff that was only broken when I changed her diaper and found a different pair of pants for her to wear. Only then would she consent to more reading. After three books she fell asleep on my shoulder. Hopefully for the night.
Not quite the wild Saturday night that we had planned but these things happen to parents, right?
