Last night Annie was winding down for bed, and we were at the 'video on YouTube' part of the bedtime routine. (What? You mean everyone doesn't watch YouTube videos with their three year olds before bed?!) On Thursday Annie is going with her Aunt Star to Disney Princesses on Ice, so the last several nights she's got to watch a couple videos from past events, 'cause, well, just try explaining dancing Disney characters on ice skates to a three year old without visual aides. It's become her favorite part of the evening, as she pleads, "Mommy, can I please watch one more Ice Age Princesses tonight?"
Tonight I'd told her she could watch two videos before it was time to head into bed and say prayers. Nearing the end of her second video, she turned to me and pleaded, "Mom, can I please watch just one more . . . since I'm three! Three videos for a three year old?" Well, I couldn't argue with that logic (and more importantly, was in the middle of something and had already been hoping her video would last longer than it did.) OK, I agreed, one more for a three year old. As that video was ending, I started to walk towards her to carry her to bed, when she looked up with a mischevious smile and said, "You know . . . I'm almost three and a half . . . that's pretty close to four . . . "

Hee, hee. Ice Age Princesses.
She's a manipulative one, that daughter of yours :)
Ice Age Princesses is the greatest title for the show ever!
I am so excited to go. I dreamed about it last night!
She is so smart....it the smart ones that are the best manipulators!
Sheesh, she's an almost 4 year old and she's already smarter than me!
You should do a home movie of them called Ice Age Princesses.
That's cute. Baylee loves You Tube. But then she got a nasty virus on my computer and I haven't let her on since I got it back from being fixed. Not sure how to let her cruise the net and be comfortable she won't pick up another virus.
Oh my. I can't wait to hear her "logic" when she progresses to a teenager. Or maybe regresses?
