Leif sounds like quite a handful. Is your daughter better about bedtime?
They should film that story and show it every Christmas.

Coding and Sleeping
My daughter is an angel. I just tell her it's time to go to bed and she gets in bed and then I tuck her in. Sometimes she'll complain if she doesn't get a bedtime story because it's late, but even then she doesn't really fight it.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I was like Leif. It was because I was always so afraid I'd miss something.

I know adults say this all the time, but I so look foreward to bedtime. I think it's cute that kids are so resistent to sleep. (Please no one remind me I said this in 6 months time.)

"My drink preference does not indicate my sexual preference. "
I know a kid, Hobbit, who will screech and run and climb things in ways that give me Matrix flashbacks, but the minute he lies down for more than 20 seconds, he falls asleep. It's awe inspiring to watch, but as it's nearly impossible to get him to lie down long enough, it's a rare rare sight.

Can I hold on to this and use it as a Tagline?

Me too. So far with Annabel it's variable. Usually she'll play quietly in her crib and then drop off to sleep within half an hour of being put down at night, but maybe one night in every ten she makes a big fuss. And she fights the naps a bit more, but it's rarely a big deal--it's just that her pace picks up a bit, she gets noisy, and next thing you know it's amazingly quiet, you look over, and she's crashed.

Of course - tag away.

What I think is amazing is how kids will sleep through anything. Over the weekend we picked up friends from the airport and their 5 year old, who was asleep when they landed, stayed that way despite being picked up, carried to the car (in the rain), buckled into his car seat, etc., etc.
Leif's habit of climbing out of bed and playing sounds like what I did as a child (and thought I was getting away with it, too).

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Thought I should share: yesterday, I bought the Lord of the Rings trilogy - extended version.
