Before I pass on Brit's letter, you should know two things...1. There is a rule in our home that the bed MUST be made every day! Except Sunday! When I was growing up, we didn't have to make our beds on Sundays...somehow I still feel like Sunday is the only day it's OK for my bed to be unmade! Brit's punishment if she doesn't make her bed...she has to go to bed one hour early! That is torture to her!
2. Once Britlyn is in bed, she is supposed to stay in bed. It doesn't always work, but if I would let her, she would come down 25 times to tell me her stomach hurts, she needs some water, she doesn't want a Gogurt in her lunch b/c she likes them frozen and by the time lunch comes at school they are not frozen anymore! Whatever she can think of! So...once she is in bed, she is SUPPOSED to stay in bed.
The other night when Matt and I were headed to bed, we found a note from Brit at the top of the stairs. Here is what it said (written exactly as she wrote it):
Der Mom,
I have growing pains. Can you come upstairs and pull my legs.
Thack you,
Britlyn Coleman
9:25
P.S. (with an arrow for me to turn the page over)
I HATE MACKING MY BED!
Have I ever told you that Britlyn is a very dramatic child!!
