In this family, bedtime is always a big drama event every night. We start with letting Lisa know that in five minutes it will be time to brush teeth, the mention of which sends her into a meltdown. After brushing teeth we read books, which can last anywhere from 5 minutes to 20. Then we may or may not lay with her for a few minutes singing songs or just snuggling. Then it's time for mommy or daddy to go out and we give plenty of hugs and kisses. How loud or long she yells, cries, and whines after we go out depends on her particular mood that night. Some nights there is no end to the things she "needs". We've tried to eliminate the constant asking for more things by making sure she has EVERYTHING she could possibly need, such as tissues, sippy cup, wipes (yes, she sleeps with a container of wipes next to her in bed), baby doll, etc. But then she just starts yelling, "I need SOMETHING!" The one that makes me smile the most is when she stands at the door yelling for "another hug". I couldn't resist recording a little snippet of it here.

That is precious! You guys are doing so good at being consistant with her.Hearing her voice makes me smile.Thanks for sharing!!
I think Chris said it was Echo summit. We went on 50 threw South Lake Tahoe because we had dinner at his parents house before we left. This is the 2nd time Jacob has thrown up too on the same road. My niece threw up after going on Highway 49 between Placerville and Auburn the last time they came visit. Those roads are killer for the little ones.
Awww, that is adorable. I think you should give her that hug.. :)
Baylie is the queen of bed time drama. I really have to try not to let it ruin my evenings......but it's pretty much already ruined by dinner. She doesn't eat right now and I swear I stand more duing dinner than sit!
