Bedtime Maneuvers

Tobin has recently learned that procrastination leads to later bed times.
Here are some of his strategies, most of which we go through each night:

"I need a bath, I'm hot"

"I'm thirsty"

"I want mom/dad to talk about my day"

"Where are my horses/cars/books?"

"I have to pee"

And then as we leave the room:

"Daaad, uhmmm... Talk about my day again?"
