Adilyn has not been as tired as she used to be these days. I put her in bed between 8 and 8:30 every night, but last week it was taking her forever to go fall asleep. The first night, she sneaked downstairs without us knowing. Cory and went about our nightly routine...doing dishes, folding laundry, watching tv, etc. About 9;15 we heard a noise from the playroom. I went in there, and there was Adilyn. She was playing in the dark room with stickers and marker all over her. I couldn't believe that we had completely NO idea she was in there. I asked her how long she had been down there, and she said, "I heard you ask Daddy if he was cold." That was like right when I had come downstairs! That little sneaker! I couldn't believe that she played down there so long quietly. She totally knew that I would make her go back upstairs, so she just stayed quiet for as long as she could. I took her back upstairs and explained to her that she needed to stay in her bed when I put her in there at night. I definitely do not want to deal with a kid that won't stay in there bed at night!
Later that week, I could tell that once again she was not tired! I told her she needed to stay in her bed. I turned on the monitor and listened for any movements. She was singing different songs, "Three Blind Mice", "Old McDonald", and many more. Then she was talking about people at school, and it sounded like she was playing school. Finally, I could tell she was out of her bed reading books. Cory went up there and had her get back in bed. Luckily, she didn't fight it. She kept talking about different things. Then, her one way conversation turned toward God and Mother Nature. All of a sudden, her voice got real serious, and she said, "Do not be afraid, Mother Nature is with you." I don't know why, but it totally cracked me up! She went on to talk about how God makes every person, animal, and plant.
Even though I would much rather have her go right to sleep, it is very entertaining to listen to her talk to herself about what's going on in her head!
