I let Kiya stay up late tonight, to watch a movie on Cartoon Network all the way through... so, instead of going to bed at 7pm, she got to stay up until "Barbie of Swan Lake" finished at 7:45pm... for reasons that escape me there were ad breaks every 7 or 8 minutes, so she happily cleaned her teeth and got into her pjs during a couple of those...
I was tucking her into bed afterwards and she asked why it was alright for her to stay up so late tonight. I said "It's not a school night, you don't have school tomorrow so you can sleep in if you need to." Kiya: "Mummy, why shouldn't I stay up late if I have school the next day?" Me: "Because you don't want to be tired at school, do you?" Kiya: "No" (a few moments thought) "Mummy, I think its a good idea if I don't stay up this late on a school night. I'll see you in the morning, but I'm going to have a sleep-in. I'm really tired. Good night."  ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

So much for the sleep-in... she woke up at 7:20 like normal!
Oh well, when Josiah goes down for his afternoon sleep, she can have a nap too... and that might just give me a chance to "reaquaint" myself with Nat since he gets back today (he's been in Wellington since Thursday)------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

Kinda, Deborah, but it didn't quite go to plan... as by the time Nat actually got home it was just after 5pm and both the kids were back up and around. ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |
