The Life and Times of Kirienne

Last night, as we were putting K to bed in her new BIG girl bed, she decided to climb over the footboard. That's not my preferred bed entry mode, since that thing's not industrial-strength. I said, "Baby, don't come up that way..." 

K replied, "Mommy... Mommy... um, just don't pay attention to what I'm doing..."

Tonight, as we were putting her in bed, we had the same kind of conversation. This time, Brien said, "Little Girl, don't climb over that way. If it breaks, I am not going to fix it. I will just leave it like it is, broken!" 

To that, K ("The Negotiator") replied, "Well, Dad, that's OK. If it breaks, I'll just go sleep in Loki and Strader's room."

ARGH! Foiled again! 

We were both trying so hard to stiffle our laughter that we had to quickly send her to the bathroom to brush her teeth so we could burst out!
