BedTIME

We got Hannah a clock with a big digital display and have told her that she can come out of her room when there's a 7 in the morning. It has worked wonderfully! But the clock is just a little too exciting. At first, she emerged from her room whenever she a 7, or two 7's! (1:27pm, 7:47pm, 2:07pm...)

The other night after having been in bed for a while, Shae had to go up during our small group Bible study because she was almost shouting, "There's two bees! There's 2 bees, Daddy!" Shae was a little cross and replied sternly that there were NO bees in her room, etc. Hannah insisted and he finally realized what she meant: 8:08pm. Yes, 8's do look like bees. :)

Another time this week Shae went in to try and quiet Hannah, who showed no signs of going to sleep. When he opened the door, he saw that she hadn't gotten OUT of bed (for which there is a consequence) so he told her to close her eyes. She said, "But then I can't SEE anything! I want to sleep with my eyes open so I can SEE, Daddy!" What do you say to that?
