The Nap Battle

Today has been a little chaotic.  We are about to leave and have been saying "goodbye" all day.
This is definitely getting in the way of naps.


On our first attempt at a nap, Big Girl sat up in her bed and said:


Big Girl:  Momma, can we say 'bye-bye' to Brother and get a Sister?


Me: You want to say 'bye-bye" to Brother?


Big Girl: Yes, and get a Sister.

Me: How about if we keep Brother and just get another Sister?


Big Girl: Um, No.


Then, on our third attempt at nap, after Grandma and Grandpa had arrived, I had finally gotten Big Girl into bed, when she sat up, jumped out of bed and...


Big Girl: Mom, I have to scratch my bottom, it itches.  (As she starts walking away.)  I'll be right back, I need to go tell Grandma and Grandpa my bottom itches.


Me: No, get back in bed.


Big Girl:  But, I need to scratch my bottom.


Me: Alright, scratch your bottom and then get back in bed.  You do not need to tell anyone that you are scratching your bottom.


That sentence definitely made the list of sentences I did not expect to EVER make.
