5 More Minutes

Lilly was so exhausted on Friday night at about 7:30, but she wouldn't give it up. While Aaron and I finished a few things, Lilly cuddled up with her blanket and baby in the chair. When I turned to her and said that it was time to go and read a book she looked and me and said "No mom, 5 more minutes" So I thought, "OK, how does she even know how long 5 minutes is?" So I turned to her like 2 seconds later and said "OK, your 5 minutes is up." So she resigned herself to going to bed! Man, I hope that trick works for a long time into the future!
