I think at one time or another all of our kids have championed the "putting off bedtime with a million questions and/or requests" routine. Emma is pretty good at it and I try my hardest not to get upset even though I am past ready for her to be asleep. When I feel the annoyance bubbling up in me I remember something someone much wiser than me once said, "One day she won't want you to tuck her in, carry her in a parking lot, or even hug you in public-- enjoy it now!"
So, I mustered up one last "Yes, Emma?" as I put her to bed tonight and here is what I heard, "Mom, you and Dad are really the best parents." WOW! I was floored... I almost started to cry but I temporarily composed myself, went back to her side, gave her a big 'ole kiss, and said goodnight. Of course I strutted down the hallway back to my room... I mean that's what one of "the best parents" would do, right?

Broken Resolutions :(
So... 2012 started out like many other years with broken resolutions after the first week!
My "resolution" this year was to blog at least once a week and it is now Monday of the SECOND week of January and I am just now writing my first blog-- and it is sadly about my broken resolution about blogging! Story of my life my friends!
I hope you are having better luck with yours. Did you make a resolution this year?
