Big Girl Bed!

When Atalie was born, Charis was 19 months old. She was so comfortable in her crib that we hesitated to make the transition to a new bed at the same time a new sibling was coming into the picture. This week we made the move to a new "Big Girl" bed with Charis. The first week...love love love. She was asking...no, begging...to go to bed. The second week? "I yike the crib. Where can crib be?" (yike= like, just in case you weren't sure.)

And today?

As soon as I walked out of the door, this happened:

Charis: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Me: It's time for a nap. If you need something, you don't need to scream. Just say, "Mommy I need you."

Charis: Mommy, I need tumping. (something)

Me: What do you need?

Charis: (long pause) uh, chocolate chips??

Me: (about to burst from holding in laughter, yet speaking in my best fake firm voice) It's time for a nap.

I understand, though. I often need chocolate chips, too. ;)
