Bedtime Ritual

We have a bedtime ritual with Brynn. It doesn't involve baths or stories, loves or hugs though we do all those things. No, Brynn's ritual is to get in bed and stay there for about 6-7 minutes, at which time she will call out...

"Moooom, I can't go to sleep."

At which point, I respond "try harder."

At which point, she does and that's usually the last I hear from her.

"Try harder."

Every night.

Weird.
