The defiant one

So that whole blanket thing didn't go so well.  Aixah did a lot of crying.  Then she did some middle of the night protesting.  She decided she wanted the lights on in the bedroom.  So she went ahead and turned them on.  And I went to turn the switch off, only to have a very stubborn, angry, defiant, 1.5 year-old turn them back on.  Oh well, defeated I went back to bed.  And so we slept with the ceiling light, very brightly lit, all night.  Whatcha gonna do?

This morning, after retrieving the blanket from downstairs, I handed it over to Aixah.  You should've seen the happiness in this girls eyes.  She grabbed it, shoved two fistfuls in her mouth and proceeded to close her eyes, like she was totally ready for bed.  Boy, I don't even want to think about having to wean her from that.  Anyone up for the task?
