Elusive Sleep


This blurry picture shows Maggie running in front of a mirror.  She'd been so tired earlier in the day and then got a second wind.  She was watching herself run to tire herself out.  I used what I thought was a calm, neutral tone to tell her to lay down and both girls started giggling.  It reminded me of me and my sisters giggling and making the bed shake when we were in a hotel on vacation.  Dad would always tell us to go to sleep and we'd just giggle more.  It took awhile to get both girls to be quiet and fall asleep.  Maggie moved to sleep with me before quiet came over the room :)
