So, Brianna didn't want to eat dinner last night and low and behold, she woke up at midnight. After listening to her try to go back to sleep and then hearing the conversation become something along the lines of "mommy? where my mommy at? Mama! Mommy? Where my mommy at?", I got up to check on here. Here's how the rest of the conversation went ...
Brianna: (upon me walking in her room) Hi Mommy!
Me: Hi baby. What's going on?
Brianna: Up mama. Cereal Bar!
Me: Is your tummy hungry? That's what happens when you don't eat dinner. Would you like a cereal bar and some milk?
Brianna: Milk? Yes! Go mommy. I sit in mama chair.
Insert multiple repetitions of the above while I get her milk and cereal bar and set her in one of the chairs at the table.
Brianna: (now eating said cereal bar) Kitty cat up up!
Me: Yes baby, Cleo is on the table. Take a bite of your cereal bar please.
Brianna: Kitty cat on table! I pet.
Me: No baby, eat your cereal bar.
*Cleo starts washing her face at this point*
Brianna: Kitty cat lick baby fingers?
Me: No baby. Kitty cat is licking her paw so she can wash her face. That's how cats take a bath.
Brianna: Kitty cat take a bath! Oh my!
Me: Yes baby, now eat some more cereal bar. How about a drink of milk?
Brianna: Okay, I drink milk mama.
*Cleo comes over the be petted and sniffs Brianna's taggie*
Brianna: Oh no no kitty cat! My taggie!
Me: I'll hold taggie. Now, eat some more cereal bar baby.
This general line of conversation continued for another 20 minutes involving discussing Cleo sitting in my lap, drinking puppy's water, would she eat puppy's food, Cleo's thirsty again, Cleo's playing, Cleo's watching me and a few others I don't remember. This was followed shortly by returning to her room to rock until 2am, at which point I put her in bed, thinking she was asleep, only to find out that she really wasn't and had absolutely no intentions of going to sleep.
It was 3:15am when we all finally got back to sleep.
