Wish I knew what thoughts were behind this mischievous smile! Occasionally, when we're heading out of Anna's bedroom after putting her down at night, she'll say in a quick, sweet, chipper little voice, "Wanna sleep with me for a little bit?" Sometimes she gives the invite to Daddy and sometimes to Mommy. But because she's always been "Miss Independent" and has never been the snugly type, her offer is always irresistible. So last night when she asked, "Daddy, wanna sleep with me for a little bit?," a very tired Tim eagerly agreed. We usually only lie down with her for a few minutes, so realizing that her Daddy was staying longer than usual last night, I overheard her say, "Daddy, why are you sleeping with me so long tonight?" There was no response from Tim. So again she asked, louder this time, "Daddy, why are you sleeping with me so long?" Realizing that her Daddy was sound asleep and evidently feeling that he had outstayed his welcome, she then said, "But Mommy will be sad---Mommy wants you to sleep with her."
