Grace has all sorts of tricks for procrastinating to go to bed - asking for "one more book", singing the alphabet on repeat, asking for all her stuffed toys in her crib and more. Tonight was a special night. She took off her pajamas and she narrated as she did it. I could hear and see this on the monitor. Then she removed her diaper, peed all over her bed and started casually calling us for new sheets. I had no choice but to go in. When I opened the door, I asked her if she has done all of these things, and she honestly admitted - proudly and matter-of-factly: YES! Then she directed me to get new sheets for her bed, put the dirty ones in the closet, and get penguin pajamas. As I started to get moving, she looked at me and said: "Mommy, you're the best. Good job." Then she gave me a kiss "to make you feel better."

I can't stop laughing! What a great story! I love the praise for you at the end, Leslie. That is a totally priceless story. :-)
That is so funny! But just as quickly as I thought it was funny, I quickly realized that I shouldn't laugh as it could very well happen to me. It already does in bits and pieces!
This is such a funny story and watch out Gracie... this story will totally be told at your rehearsal dinner one day ;-)
