water? book? potty? milk?

Violet is not a fan of going to sleep lately so she comes up with every possible excuse to stay up.  The usual routine consisted of a bedtime story followed by a kiss goodnight from mama and papa.  She used to be content with that and be asleep within ten minutes or so.  Now she has figured out that by making multiple requests, she can postpone bed time. At first Gene and I were slow and would give her whatever she asked for.  Soup? sure! You want to poop on the potty even though you've never done so before? Sure!  Thankfully, we were fools only for so long before we caught on to her game.  She still manages to outsmart us by staying up and having conversations with herself until wee hours of the night.  When she gets bored of talking, she sings.  We watch her on the video monitor amused by all the activities she comes up with.  OK, so maybe I am not very amused at her using the curtains as a Tarzan swing.
