Last night I was talking to my sister on the phone about 9 p.m. when I heard the stair gate rattle. And the sound of little shuffling feet.
I got off the phone and sprang upstairs to the bug's room.
She was lying in bed, making little snuffling noises. Her eyes were tightly shut and it was quite clear she had just jumped into bed to avoid being caught by Mama out of bed after bedtime.
"What are you doing, bug?"
"I snoring."
Yup, that was what it sounded like.
"Why were you out of bed?"
"I listening. And giggling. Giggle giggle giggle." Yes, she said the word "giggle" three times; she didn't actually giggle.
"It's time for bed."
"I snore now? Not giggle?"
"That's the plan. Now, (tucking her back in,) good night."
"'Night, mommy."
