Jaydee didn't want to go to sleep

Jaydee doesn’t like to go to sleep, I wish she was more like my brother Joseph and would go to bed when she was tired. Instead she just fights it and cries all night. Deedra asked her what was wrong? She sobbed “I don’t know.” Deedra said, then why are you crying? (pause) Sobbing “because I’m hungry.” Then she was thirsty and I took her a drink, she didn’t touch it because she was telling me (very dramatically) how time out worked. “When I go to time out (sob between every word), because I make sad choices, then I cry cuz you won’t talk to me.” (I gently remind her that I can’t talk to her in time out) “Then it goes beep, beep and I get out of time out and make happy choices” (Yes, the timer goes off) “Do you push the buttons to make it beep?” Jaydee, do you want a drink or should I go now? Remember this is like the 10^th time someone has been in to check on her. It was so funny!

Deedra gave me a print out of super nanny's bedtime tips! As she hands me the copy, she says I don't want to overstep but... I love my sister and she couldn't offend me. Yes, we have a spoiled little girl. And yes I am jealous of Deedra's twins who you hand them a pacifier and they go right to sleep. But I do love Jaydee's inventive ways to get out of bed. Last night she came in because she had "toked" (choked) in her bed. She then took the bowl next to my bed and pretended to cough/gag into the bowl. (Remember I have been throwing up all last week). I do admit that I am very entertained by her.
