Bizarre Bedtime

Normally when I put Vega to bed it's a long process of convincing her it's time for bed, putting her back in bed when she get's up, etc. Last night it went a little different. She was playing with me in the living room, when all of a sudden...

Vega: Oh no!
Daddy: What's wrong?
Vega: I have to go to bed, I'm really tired!

Vega then turned around and ran out of the room and up the stairs.

Vega: Come on Daddy, I want to go to bed.

The entire time while I was getting her ready for bed she was really cooperative and talked a ton.

Vega: I like to play chase
Daddy: Who do you like to play chase with
Vega: My brother, you, my mommy
Daddy: Who else?
Vega: Umm
Daddy: What about Niall?
Vega: Umm, no, he's too busy.
Daddy: Doing what?
Vega: He's busy playing with his toys right now.

Vega: When I grow up I can have grown up drinks
Daddy: What kind of grown up drinks.
Vega: Umm, beer, umm, and coffee
Daddy: What else?
Vega: More beer.

Vega: I'm gonna grow up big and tall and I can't fit in my own bed anymore and I'll be sad.
Vega: Look at my bed. It's very beautiful. It's really cool. Do you like it?
Vega: We went to Texas to see my grandmommy. She is very nice. I love her.

After talking talking talking the whole time we got ready for bed, she jumped into bed and yelled...

Vega: NIGHT NIGHT DADDY. I'M GOING TO SLEEP NOW!

And did...

Snow Day in Seattle

I was working in my office downstairs because it was a snow day. I was wearing my headphone and listening to music. Vega walked in...

Vega: "Hi Daddy, can I listen to your headphones please?"
Daddy: "Sure, hear you go", I turned down the volume, selected some music she would like and give them to her

Vega puts on headphones and starts dancing

... a minute passes ...

Vega takes the headphones off
Vega: "Here you go daddy. I can't dance right now, I'm too busy. I have things to do"
Vega leaves room

Later, while putting Vega to bed, again...

Daddy: "Why are you crying?"
Vega: "Because I can't sleep Daddy"
Daddy: "Do you want to sleep or do you want to stay up and cry?"
Vega: "I want to stay up and cry"
Daddy: "Ok"
Vega looks very very confused and stops crying

Popsicle

Vega stripped off her clothes and started eating a popsicle...this makes her happy. She started dancing and sicking.

Vega: (singing) I apologize. I'm going to take your ice cream and eat it all up
