We have had a heck of a time with DD (now 3 1/2) these past couple of weeks - tantrum after tantrum after tantrum, refusing to get dressed in the morning, refusing to get undressed at night. Last night there was a 45 minute tantrum, and a 30 minute tantrum, and she was still up when we went to bed at 10:00.
Today, she has been lovely. Her usual cheerful, funny, engaging little self. She still tried to delay going to bed, but this time it was the fun stuff - drawing us pictures that she JUST HAD to show us, telling stories, making up silly words to songs, etc. (Which is actually harder in its way, because you don't want her to stop, but you still have to be the adult and get her to bed.)
She's been upstairs and quiet for about an hour now. Then just a minute ago, I heard her get out of bed and start coming down the stairs. I braced myself for the request for more milk, or just one more song, or whatever. She came into the kitchen, and said "Mummy? Thank you for my new pyjamas."
And then went back upstairs.
Damn, she's cute. I love her so much. ♥
