i'll type this on commercial breaks...

man i love the law and order theme song!

you all probably know that nina doesn't like to go to sleep. she stalls, says she's not tired, asks for another snack, another drink, another story... standard kid stuff. but she also talks a lot about how she doesn't like to go to sleep, and how she can't wait until it's morning. lately, she has been asking us whether, when she has a dream, her body stays in bed or if it leaves. we had thought that dreams might have been part of why she doesn't like to sleep, but she rarely talks about having bad dreams, so we weren't sure. nick and i keep explaining that dreams are just her imagination (nick tells her they are her brain telling her a story while she's asleep to keep her entertained. interesting explanation nick). i'm not sure she totally believes it, because she keeps asking over and over again. poor kid, i hope her dreams are just unnerving and not scary.
