It's a Keeper

For the past few nights putting Ann Charlotte to bed has not been an easy task.  We have been up way too late with Christmas festivities and she has had more energy than she knows what to do with.   But how can you put on your "mean" voice when you hear this.

Ann Charlotte:  Mommy, come here.  I want to tell you something.

Mommy comes in after several calls.

Mommy:  What Ann Charlotte, it is time for bed.

Ann Charlotte reaches out her hands for a hug and says "come here Mommy."  While we are hugging she says:

Ann Charlotte: Mommy, I want to keep you.

Mommy:  Ann Charlotte, I want to keep you too!

Ann Charlotte:  But Mommy, I want to keep you FOREVER!
