The power of song

I haven't posted in a while - and this isn't really a "post" but it was so cute.

Last night, it was almost time for Chloe to go to bed, but she let me know that she wanted to watch Beauty and the Beast. I told her that it was almost bed time and she just kind of brushed off that request and said again that she wanted to watch Beauty and the Beast. She wasn't upset or anything.

I decided that, rather than start a "fight", I would take advantage of the season! I just started singing, "Santa Claus is Coming to Town". After the first line in the song, big huge crocodile tears came to her eyes and she was just devastated. I kept singing the song and went over and picked her up. After I finished, I lifted her head and asked if she wanted to go lay down.

She quietly nodded and we went to bed :)
