I’ve posted before about my 2 year old, um…spirited child. She is definitely one of a kind. First there was the major crying incident over having a “china” instead of a “peeper” and then there is our on going battle with this child going to bed. And now, for your comedic entertainment, I give you the “Ultimate Knock Knock Joke 2009”.
For awhile now, we have been doing the Supernanny approach to getting Bella to go to bed by herself. This results in us sitting on the floor in her room until she falls asleep. After a few days to a week of sitting next to her bed, we scoot closer to the door. On the Supernanny, it always works out that there is an awesome sleeper in the end. I refuse to believe that it is the magic of television that gives us that awesome sleeper (so please…no comments about creative editing haha).
Tonight I am sitting by her bed and she is babbling away about a bunch of nonsense. I am ignoring her in hopes that she babbles herself right to sleep. Next thing you know, she starts knocking on my head while saying:
Now maybe it is one of those, “you had to be there” moments, but I found that very funny and tried really hard not to laugh. I managed to keep it together enough to look at my child, give her that look, and say “Isabella Rose…GO.TO.SLEEP”. I would love to say that she instantly fell asleep because mommy gave her “the look”, but no. My little commedian proceeds to look at me and say:
I thought only my 3yr old “had people” cause he talks about “my people” all the time.
I am sure I would’ve cracked up good had one of mine done a knock knock joke on my head.
dont you hate it when they pull that crap! They know they’re being funny and they know that your gonna laugh!!!!
Good luck with the bedtime situation. Thank goodness we are past that.
Love your blog =)
How cute is that? My 5 year old has such spirit!!! We use the super nanny aproach on him as well
When she sits up in the middle of the night and says, “I was just about to call you! You need to clear my 2 o’clock.” then I would start to worry!
