Bedtime Tragedy

When it was time for bed tonight Declan wasn't interested in going. He was tired but he just didn't want to go. Daddy had to carry him upstairs. Then outside his door he sobbed and sobbed. He didn't want to turn off his light, no running jump into bed, he tossed his blanket off and screamed and cried. I told Daddy to leave me along with him. I waited patiently while Declan continued to cry for 20 minutes. I told him everything would be ok, to get some rest so we could play together in the morning. I even asked him if he'd like to have his Lego man with him in bed (the big kind-no choking hazard). He sobbed yes. Then I finally said I was leaving him to sleep and he sobbed while saying he wanted Daddy to come kiss him goodnight.

So I said my goodnight and kissed him and his monkeys. Then sent Daddy in to say goodnight.

After all the ordeal Declan was sound asleep less than five minutes later.

Oh 2 1/2.
