Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

The girl who cried wolf.

She can say "Help." This coupled with "OW MOMMY HEEEEELLLLLP!" in the middle of the night = me racing to her nursery to rescue her.

I arrive? She looks up at me and says "milk?" I say "ok come lets get some milk." I trot down to the kitchen, toddler in tow and she says "cookie?" and I say "no its night time, you can have milk and then you have to go back to bed." She nods and downs her milk.

"Outside?" Sigh. "no honey outside is sleeping right now. You need to get some sleep too. And mommy is tired. Let's go."

"Mommy bed?" Sigh. No you go to sleep in YOUR bed. Look at how nice it is. Look at your friends in there. Ok lie down and go to sleep. "night night" Night honey see you in the morning."

I flop back into bed and hear "HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLP MOMMMY OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! HEEELLLLP!"

Race back in. "Mommy bed."

Yeah fine. Mommy bed. Mommy got kicked in the head by a sassy toddler all night. J was working a night shift so she slept with me. I'm exhausted. And I have no idea where she learned that screaming help thing. Does anyone want a chunky monkey 1.5 year old? Anyone? Anyone?
