Bedtime has been a constant struggle for us (but mostly for Toni) ever since we moved Anna into her toddler bed. She insists that one of us (again, usually Toni) stay with her until she falls asleep; if you try to leave, she immediately gets out of bed and comes and finds you. This means that getting her to sleep is an hour-long (sometimes two-hour-long) ordeal.
Tonight, Toni came home from the Relief Society broadcast to find me typing away at my desk; Anna had been watching Cars on our portable DVD player on the couch while I half-watched some football on the television. It turned out that Anna had fallen fast asleep at some point, possibly an hour before Toni got home, and I had simply been oblivious, content to let her watch the movie so I could get some work done. Toni artfully carried Anna all the way to her bed without waking her up, and she is currently fast asleep a solid hour or even 90 minutes before she is usually out.
Gotta love the bonus spouse time. I think we'll watch some How I Met Your Mother.
Best night ever.
