The Night Fights

I've been meaning to write about how the nightly bedtime fights have gotten better. We've stumbled upon a lever that we can use to help us. We're bribing her. With colored cereal (Fruity Cheerios).
And most nights it works like a charm. We've told her that if she fights with us she won't get the cereal in the morning. This lets us tell her when she's risking a fight and she usually backs off.
Of course, as I'm writing this she's been upstairs yelling for most of an hour. So this is far from a science...
