Battle of the Wills

Little miss Allie has been so much more playful lately. She is banging things and shaking things and learning that her hands can do so much more than just be pretty to look at. So, lately my little one has not liked going to sleep. She has learned that life goes on after she goes to sleep, and she pitches a fit every time I put her in her bed. The last couple of times she has screamed bloody murder to where I think something must be wrong. I go in there to pick her up, only to find that she stops crying the minute I do and looks at me with a big smile. I learned something too, she thinks she won. She got me, I did exactly what she wanted me to do. So, now comes the battle of the wills. Who will win, Allie or Mommy. I hope Mommy does, but it is going to be tough. I won this time though, she is in there sound asleep, much to her dismay.
