Anika is nearing the 18-month milestone and it gets more interesting every day. I put our daughter to bed and was helping Beth with her mathematics. I was on one knee at her desk, drawing a heptagon, when I saw Anika casually walk out of her room and smile at me.
"Shouldn't you be in the bed?"
"Yeah."
"Well why aren't you in it?"
"Ishy-ishh-lilll-lillsh-la-dat."
"Oh. Okay. Now go to bed. I love you. Night-night."
I walked her into her room and she put her bears to sleep before laying down herself. She's such a lovely little girl.
She was up five minutes later.
"Hi," she said.
"Hi," I responded, "Aren't you supposed to be in bed?"
"Yeah..."
And so goes the almost nightly ritual. Hope you're enjoying this as much as I am.
