I knew it

It's entirely my fault. Avalon had a sleep today for 2 hours, and after waking this morning with a sore throat, i took the opportunity to have a long sleep.

I've learnt before that if I want her to go down at 7pm with minimal fuss, I can't give her more than an hour and 15 during the day in nap time. But I broke the rules. Caus I was tired. And, I mean, how often is is that both girls sleep at the same time so that I can indulge in this lovely afternoon nap? Answer- not often.

So at 7.45 when I was learning some great Masterchef recipes (mmm... scones), Avalon was still awake in her cot and asking for "Mummay more tuggles" in between sobs.

I went in and she's there with her dummy in her mouth, and clutching the spare dummy in her other hand. She immediately stands up.

A little frustrated, I say to her "Avalon, I just want to sit down and watch my tv show. Is that too much to ask?"

"Yep" came her reply.

I wonder when kids start to learn when a question is rhetorical.
