Kierra's Bedtime

Kierra has been hard to put to bed lately. It's so utterly easy to put her down for a nap, but when it comes to bedtime, she rebels. She waits until her sister falls asleep (I think so that Audrey can't tattle on her, or maybe because that's when she gets really bored) to sneak out of bed and read in the baby's room or steal things from our room.


Anyway, Jeromy and I were watching TV tonight and could hear that Kierra was still awake, but we were too lazy to deal with her. A little later when our show had ended, we found Kierra half asleep on the top of the stairs! We snuck up on her and I said Boo (I know, we're mean) right when she opened her eyes. She looked pretty confused, and we just couldn't help but laugh. Then we asked her if she wanted to sleep in her bed. She shook her head no. We asked her if she wanted to sleep on the stairs and she (very seriously, I might add) nodded yes. That made us laugh even harder! The look on her face was priceless. Like she was trying really hard to get an inside joke but couldn't quite get it. She wanted to laugh with us but had no idea why we were laughing so hard and probably understood a little that we were laughing at her. That made it a little easier to put her back in bed where she belonged. Kids are funny.
