Oh, sleep. Why do you tease us so? We parents spend so much time on the subject of sleep, but never so much than when it comes to getting our children to go there. Kids don't always go down without a fight, and my daughter, who is usually a very (very) easygoing kid, is the queen of pushing the bedtime limits with a long list of problems (read: excuses) for why she simply cannot go to sleep. It never ceases to amaze me: just last night, after I put the kids to bed, I called a friend and left her a voicemail, and my child was suddenly standing next to me with the burning question, "Are you talking to the dentist?" Um, no, thanks for checking though, honey. Go. To. Bed! I've compiled a sampling of her pre-bedtime issues from just this past week, but I'm sure you've got your own to add!
