Bedtime Stall Tactic #342

So, I could probably do a whole series on the stall tactics Javen has come up with at bedtime. I know plenty of you have some good stories in this area as well. These kids of ours are preeetty clever.

Tonight? Tonight takes the cake.

Lately Javen's been asking for a good night kiss over and over and over again. He waits until we're at the door to ask for another kiss, as to maximize the stalling time. (Smart little booger!) When that stopped working, he started asking for a bunch of kisses at the same time. Forehead, nose, chin, left cheek, right cheek, left ear, right ear and eskimo kiss.

After going through the 8 kisses tonight I walked to the door.

Javen: "Mama, my ears need kisses!"
Me: "I already kissed your ears, buddy."
Javen: "But the kisses fell off!!!"

I had no comeback to that one. I didn't know kisses could fall off.

Javen: 1
Mama: 0
