Bouncing Baby Girl

Brianna's newest idea of bedtime fun is bouncing up and down on her mattress as she holds onto the crib bars. She discovered she could do this recently and since then insted of our normal, well-established bedtime routine it's been more like this:

"Brianna, it's time for bed, why don't you lay down?"

(bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce)

"Ok, well, if you don't lay down then I can't put your blankie over you."

(bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, giggle)

"Bree, look, Bear and Green are tired now. They're laying down on your pillow. Go lie down next to them."

(bounce, bounce, bounce)

"All right stop that. Let's say our prayers."

(bounce, giggle, bounce)

"Well fine then. I'm going to sleep now. I love you, see you in the morning, go to sleep."

"Mommy! Daddy! Kisses, kiss!"

"Ok, one kiss. Now, we're leaving. Goodnight. Love you."

(bounce, bounce, bounce giggle, muffled through the door...bounce, bounce bounce)

At some point she eventually goes to sleep. Oh well, what's a little bouncing before bed right?? Works out the extra energy.
