Night Night Blues

Why does putting you to bed at night have to be so traumatic? I understand your desire to stall (just one more kiss for brother or the need for a snack) and I applaud your efforts and, at times, your ingenuity.

What I don't understand is why you get so upset and throw fits before finally crying yourself to sleep. We used to have the sweetest nighttime routine, complete with a book, prayer and a blanket tucked tightly around you. Now when I put you in your bed at night you just yell at me to walk away from you.

So I do.

And you cry yourself to sleep.

What a horrible way to fall asleep every night.
