Finally, I am sleeping by myself

For three nights since Sunday, I have been sleeping by myself, without anyone accompanying me from the beginning.

And it's all thanks to Mommy's devious methods.

On Sunday, she bought me some new Doctor's Toys which I've been wanting for a long time. And so, I had to keep up my end of the bargain by sleeping by myself that night.

It was a little scary at first, but I asked Mommy to keep the door slightly ajar so I can still hear them outside in the hall. According to Mommy, I fell asleep in a matter of minutes.

On Monday, mommy took me for some ice cream after school. In return, I had to sleep by myself again. I'd really wanted the ice cream so I promised.

It was much better this time around, because I was pretty tired as there was PE on Monday and I didn't really nap.

Last night, even though Mommy didn't get me anything, I went to bed by myself. Mommy gave me extra hugs and kisses and I Love Yous. I gave Daddy his Big Bear Hug and then cuddled up to my favourite white pillow. Mommy played what she calls Sha-day (Mommy: Sade) music (which I really like) and Daddy lit some of that nice smelling candle thing I like to watch in the dark.

Actually, it's kind of nice, lying there in the dark, watching the flame of the fragrant candle. Because I know before long, it will be morning, and Mommy and Daddy will be there when I wake up, ready with their hugs and kisses.
