5 minutues to half an hour
Friday, October 24, 2008 at 11:35PM A bedtime conversation:
Me: kuttyma, go sleep on your own from today please. If you do, I will give you a present when you wake up.
LO: No daddy. Please thacham with me..only for five miniss please. then you can go!
Me: okay, but only five minutes.
LO: (all smiles, kisses her blanket) and cuddles up
Me: (after 10 minutes) Five minutes aachu(done). I will have to go eat my dinner, do some work.. and I will come back and sleep with you.
LO: Five minis innum aala (five minutes not yet over)!
Me: No. it is over.
LO: No. it is not over.
Me: okay. Five more mins and that is it..
LO: (repeat happens 3x ) and finally she sleeps after 40 minutes!
Well that was earlier this week.
here is what happened yesterday(after the first 5 minute episode)
Me: go sleep now. Five minutes is up. I have to go eat. I am really hungry. I will come back in half an hour and sleep
LO: okay. peas come back in halfnhavar okay?
Me: okay..
Five minutes later I hear her scream "daddy", "daddy" . rush in worried that she might wake up the sleeping Jr.
LO: halfnhavar aachu (half an hour is up).Come!
Me: It is only five minutes.. go sleep I will be back in half an hour
LO: No! Halfnhavar aaacchu..
and there went dinner for another 40 minutes..
The most important lesson here is that ....
Daddy is wrapped around the LO's finger!

Such a precious halfanhavar!
Well you need to know what happens in my house. Daddy eats along with baby and both are ready for bed at the same time, daddy reading books to baby and daddy is sound asleep before baby on the baby girls bed and mommy has the whole king bed to herself :-)
Daddy and girl i don't understand that thesis.
