If you let her, she'll con you into reading to her. DO NOT LET HER DO THIS.

Do you know what her bedtime reading list was tonight? 12 books long. That's what. And one of those books was Harold and the Purple Crayon, which is quite long for her. I'm starting to worry if reading to her was the good idea I had originally thought it to be...

Incidentally, she now knows how to play Ring Around the Rosie (which has nothing to do with the plague, contrary to popular belief). It took a few false starts, because I'd say "All fall down" and tell her to sit, but usually when we tell her to sit she's being punished, so....

Edit: The full reading list for tonight was...

Green Hat, Blue Hat (Sandra Boynton, tonight's light reading)
One, Two, Three (also Sandra Boynton)
Hippos Go Berserk (ditto)
Pajama Time (and again)
The Going to Bed Book (last one by Boynton)
Harold and the Purple Crayon
One Duck Stuck
Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see?
Guess How Much I Love You (another fairly lengthy book)
Good Night, Mr. Night
The Napping House
My Many Colored Days

AND she got tucked in with a book as well.

Edit again: I just checked up on her. She literally fell asleep with her book open and her nose inside.

Ah, that makes sense, and I agree with it.
