The funny things kids say

This was Ava's prayer before bed last night..."Dear Jesus, Thank you for the great day. I knew you could do it! Amen."

At nap time today, after she had been in her room for 15 mins, I went to tell her to go back to bed. When I asked why she wasn't sleeping, she replied, "Dolphin (referring to her stuffed animal) is yelling so I can't sleep!" I removed the noisy troublemaker from her room and then told her to get back in bed. A half hour later, I went once again to tell her to get back in bed and this time she said, "They are laughing at me and being mean!" I asked who was doing this she answered, "my animals!" So I removed ALL the stuffed animals from her room so she could sleep. She never did sleep. She must have run out of creative excuses because she just told me she wasn't tired from then on. :)
