it all happened at three in tha mornin'

Caroline: Mama!
Me: Mmmmmmm. Hmmm. (snore) What baby?
Caroline: Um. I just want to give you a hug and a kiss.
(we hug and kiss while I lay nearly comatose in my bed)
Me: Go back to bed, Lala.
Caroline: Oh! I have to go potty!
(she goes potty then stands in the hallway and YELLS that she is done)
Caroline: Come tuck me in!
(so many exclamation marks for a conversation that occurred in the middle of the night. not sure where she gets her flair for drama.)
