Nina can't sleep

"Oh, see, we have a rule in our house that bedtime is 7:30 and the kids never get to come out of their room after that. That's a big rule."
Said by one of the covington montessori moms.
Well. Then she misses out on conversations like this.
Mom: "Nina, what would your ideal birthday be?" (of course I had to spend some time explaining this)
Nina: "First I'd go to the toy store and buy a barbie toy. Then I'd go joggin'."
Mom: "By yourself or with me?"
Nina: "Um...with me. With you."
Mom: "Aw, thanks, that sounds great. And then what?"
Nina: "Then we'd have my birthday party! A pool party!"
Mom: "What kind of cake would you have?"
Nina: "Um...a frostin' cake. Frostin'."

That's my gal.
btw, she said she couldn't sleep not because she took a nap but because she ate chocolate chips (she fell asleep while singing to yo gabba gabba in the carline and I transferred her to our bed and she slept all rosy and cherubic til 4 when Jules and I woke her up) - chocolate scares them a bit now since the night they were desperate to sleep but couldn't after eating uber-chocolatey petit-fours.
