Fast Asleep

After putting Emily to bed, reading her a story, and kissing her goodnight, she usually makes one final request just as we’re tiptoeing out of her room. It could be anything: a glass of milk, to speak with mommy, a different blanket, etc. You know, in an attempt to stay up just a little bit longer. We always say the same thing, “OK, let me just do [x] first and then I’ll get it for you.” Knowing full well that, by buying those extra few minutes, she’ll be fast asleep by the time we get back and thus we won’t ever have to follow through with the request.

Tonight, I was at work so Jan put Emily to bed. Sebastian started crying just as she started the bedtime story. Jan gauged the situation and decided that she had best finish the story before attending to a very hungry Sebastian. So she finished the story, hurriedly kissed Emily goodnight, and said, “Let me just feed Sebastian and then I’ll come right back and tuck you in.” Emily, apparently catching on to our trickery, declared, “Oh no you won’t. I’ll be fast asleep!”

So cute.

And speaking of cute…
