Tough Cookie

Amelia has never been one who likes to go to bed. The past two nights were no exception. I'm not going to go into all the details of her bedtime business, but I will give you a sample ...

At one point last night, while Meggan and I were repeatedly placing her back into her bed as she was continually getting out of it, she literally said "Which on of you do I have to fight?" . That's how she brings it.

Tonight, we had this...

Me: I love you so much.

Amelia: I love you too.

Me: I hope you know that whether you're in your bed, your school, or anywhere else in the world, daddy will always make sure you are okay. I promise.

Amelia: People make promises all the time. Then they turn right around and break them. (as she starts singing the rest of Justin Timberlake's Not a Bad Thing...) When someone cuts your heart open with a knife, now you're bleeding....

Me: Good night

Amelia (still singing):.....But I could be that guy to heal it over time. And I won't stop until you believe it. It's not a bad thing to fall in love with me.....

I don't know what I'm going to do with her. But, I do respect her freakish song lyric memory and her comedic timing. So, there's that.
