Refusal

It is no secret the Bailey children are strong willed and stubborn.  And while there are some battles I will fight and win with my children, there are other battles I will not. 

Take for example Bess’ new obsession with her refusal to wear pajamas to bed.  Nightgowns, cute pj sets, you could F.O.R.G/E.T. about it.  One night she insisted on sleeping in her hand me down Easter outfit with a bunny and a skirt that matched.  Another night, a school outfit of a precious skirt and top were her bedtime attire.  Again, a battle that in the grand scheme of life, I chose not to fight.

So tonight, as I am tucking Bess in her bed for the , oh 100th time, I glance down to notice her little feet. 

Yes, tonight my little love insists on sleeping in Crocs that are too big for her feet!  Never mind the very convincing argument I gave to try and persuade her to not wear these to bed, I failed!  And so, Crocs to bed it is!!! 

Hopefully this little love will drift off to sleep soon, with her little feet adorned in her older sister’s beachwear shoes!
