So tonight Katie was having a hard time going to bed. It's not uncommon that both kids resist bedtime, why sleep when you can play right? Usually we have a routine to help this along. Bedtime stories, milks, etc.
Anyways, I put Katie down to bed, tucked her in, started her music, and bid her goodnight. Soon after she comes creeping out to the living room...
Katie: "Daddy, I can't sleep."
Steve: "I know Katie, but you have to try, it's past your bedtime."
*Walks katie back to bed and tucks her in*
Katie: "Daaaaaady, I can't try..."
Steve: *Wistfully* "Just close your eyes and picture princesses and castles..."
*Katie closes her eyes tight for a few seconds*
Katie: "All I see is the color black."
