Excuses for not sleeping... Part 2

Yesterday night (It's a Sunday too), Yuxin tried to find excuses for not sleeping again. This night, I already expected Yuxin would not sleep early because she had a very late nap. However, I didn't expect her to repeat this 'excuse' pattern again.

Well, as usual, I asked Yuxin to promise me to sleep after drinking milk and watching her favourite Hi5 show. So everything went smoothly initially, she followed my instructions to off TV and lights and lay down to sleep after the show finished. After a short while, she suddenly said "Baby 在哪里?(Where is the baby?)" Just after finished saying this, she opened the door and dashed into the living room to look for her baby. This 'baby' is Yuxin's new and favourite toy baby. I bought it to help Yuxin on her potty training.

After getting her 'baby', she returned to lie down on her mattress. However, only after a short while, she asked for something again. This time she asked for milk. She had drunk a whole bottle of milk for less than half hour and she was asking for it again. So I asked her again to confirm whether she really wanted milk. In the end, I prepared half bottle of milk for her.

I was hoping she could fall asleep while drinking milk. Hahaha... Again wishful thinking... She finished the milk very fast and passed me the bottle. As usual, I put the bottle beside her mattress and our bed. Yuxin was very restless and could not sleep, turning here and there on her mattress.

Then she did something purposely for around 8-10 times (in fact, I lost count how many times). I think she did this purposely to make me angry and come down from my bed and asked her why you don't want to sleep. Then she could said she want to play. Of course, I didn't fell into her trap. Hahaha :P

So, what did she done actually? Yuxin got up, took her milk bottle, asked me to open the cap for her and she lay down to drink. Actually, she had already finished the milk and the bottle was emptied (Leftover maybe 3-5 ml only). Then after a while, she passed me the bottle and I capped it and placed it on the usual place. Then she got up and took her bottle to drink again and then returned to me. So this repeat for I don't know how many times.

Finally, I think she was unable to get my attention to get down from my bed, so she stopped her 'trick' and went to sleep. I was happy that I could control my temper and ignored her. If not, I would have scolded her and Yuxin might cry and make noise and we ended up with a sleepless night.
