Caitlin's getting smart!!!

Caitlin's bedtime is at 8:00 at the latest. We try to stick to this pretty close or she doesn't get enough sleep at night. Last night we did our regular ritual, pajamas, milk, diaper change, book reading, kiss mommy and daddy and then night, night for Caitlin! After we said goodnight to her she started doing the 'milk' sign. So.. we decided maybe we better give her some, even though she just had a whole cup. She drank most of the milk and we said goodnight again. Rian started to put her in her crib when she did the 'change' sign. Hmmmm.... we decided we'd better check. She was a tiny bit wet, so we changed her and put her back in her crib. Then she started hollering 'Elmo', 'Elmo', 'Elmo'!! We decided she was trying to delay bedtime any way that she could think of. We ended up giving her Elmo and put her to bed. We could hear her talking to Elmo for a good 30 minutes before she finally dozed off. She's getting smart, trying to figure out how to put off going to bed.
