As I put Elizabeth to bed last night, I laid down the law about getting us up in the middle of the night, because that has been happening far too much lately. Here's our conversation:
Me: "I'm putting an extra DeeDee right here, so if you can't find DeeDee, don't wake me and Daddy up - just take the new one. If you have to go to the bathroom in the night, just go and don't wake me and Daddy. If you have an accident in the middle of night [she never does, she just thinks she does and wakes us up to take care of it], take care of it yourself. You can change your underwear and pajamas and leave them on the floor. Daddy or I will take care of it in the morning. Even if you think you get hurt in the middle of the night, take care of it yourself. You don't need to wake me and Daddy. Do you understand?"
Elizabeth: [Long silence.] "Can I fake-cry?"
