My little dare devil

You little stinker you...

So, late last week I was having a busy day: organizing (still), cleaning, rearranging, etc. and I REALLY needed Henry to take a nap (because as much as I love him, it's a lot easier to get things done when he's asleep). He'd been a very good boy all day, and as I knelt beside his bed (with him all tucked in it) around noontime, my hopes were high that I'd get him to slip blissfully away into dreamland. He's a tricksy one though, (smile), because he asks to eat, etc. when it's bedtime (trying to get out of going to sleep). So on this particular occasion he did just that--Here's how the dialog went:

Me: It's time to sleep, Henry. It's time to clooooose your eyes and sleep.

Henry: Eat!

Me: You just ate, Baby. You may have something to eat when you wake up. Would you like something to drink?

Henry: Snack.

Me: You may have a snack, AFTER you wake up from your nap.

Henry: Two? (Trying to get just two fingers up, while getting the rest of his fingers to cooperate without using his other hand)

Me: (smiling, because I thought he was so cute!) Yes, you may have two snacks, but only if you GO TO SLEEP~

Henry: (With hopeful innocence) Chocolate?

The poor little guy was so stinkin' cute when he said that, that I said yes, but ONLY IF HE WENT TO SLEEP! Luckily for him and his little heart, he never got his chocolate (sans nap), but Henry and I both wound up having a fun time together, which in the end, I think is the best accomplishment of all. :)

YUM.
