Good Night Tori...

Tonight as I was turning off the lights, Tori says, "Oh I forgot to tell you earlier, my tummy hurts." Last night she told me her tummy hurt as I was turning off the light and I called her bluff and told her if it was hurting then it would have been hurting during the whole bedtime process so she needs to tell me earlier. So after I tell her no again tonight, she whines a little, and 20 minutes later, "Mommy! Daddy!" "My nightlight is keeping me awake." Explaining what a Catch-22 is to a 4.5 year old is not an easy task, especially at 9PM. I tell her to close her eyes so she doesn't see the light and close the door. Immediately, "Daddy!!"
"Yes Tori?"
"My head hurts."
"Good night Tori."
Drama followed. I'm such a mean daddy.

All before 9AM

7:45 AM Ariana won't share Alyssa with Tori. She would lay face down on Alyssa giving her big hugs and intentionally not get up so Tori couldn't give Alyssa a good morning hug.

8:15 AM Tori asks me not to talk to her because she is reading her Bible. Nevermind that I was making her breakfast. Guess I should be grateful she is spending time in the Word!

8:20AM Tori starts telling me all about Saul that he was a bad man and Jesus made him good and changed his name to Paul and then his friends saved him by lowering him in a basket. Someone has been listening at church and preschool!
