Emily has all kinds of reasons to get out of bed, and tonight she had me fooled. I thought Travis was still upstairs when I heard the toilet flush, and realized that Travis was actually in the basement, where there is no toilet. I found Emily at the top of the stairs wearing nothing at all!! Going potty is her favorite excuse to get out of bed, followed by blowing her nose, getting a drink, and then no particular reason at all. I've been trying to walk the line between hard-nosed "get in bed you don't need whatever it is you think you do" and "Goodnight, I love you, sweetheart!" I don't want her to be upset trying to go to sleep, but I don't want her to think I'm any fun to be around after I say goodnight. It's tough.
Guess I'll post this now, since I got halfway through it the other night and then got called away... to put a girl back in bed!!
