Falling asleep is hard to do...

Belle has been having a hard time actually falling asleep lately. Our bedtime routine:

Have a snack of applesauce or fruit or something. Brush teeth and go potty. Then she gets tucked in and I turn on her music (currently a Phantom of the Opera/Johnny Cash cd Tren made her).

Well last night I headed to my room right after tucking her in. I have been reading the Stephanie Meyer TWILIGHT books (love them! freaking love them!) so I jump in bed and READ! I shut the door just a bit and began reading. I left Rooster in Belle's room, at Belle's request. I can hear her Phantom music WAY too clearly so I hollar at her to turn in back down. She can't hear me since the radio is right next to her bed. So, I go in and turn in down and tell her not to mess with it or it gets shut off. I head back to my room. A few minutes later I can hear a Johnny Cash song on that is also my ringtone when Tren calls me. Belle knows this and I can hear her call out to me "Momma its for you!" as if it was my phone ringing because Tren was calling. She laughed at her funny self. So, I too quitely laugh and get back to my book. A few minutes later, I can hear giggling and then some footsteps and pouncing and Belle squeals. Then I hear Rooster come to my door and I hear her sniffing and snorting. I quietly pull the door open, thinking Belle is out there too, but instead.... this is what I found.



(This picture is kinda crappy because I was using my phone and I didnt want her to wriggle out of it before I got a picture.) If you notice her front right leg has a pony tail wrapped around it too, pushed up to her 'thigh'. I called Belle and she came rushing into my room with a little smirk on her face. Trying to be serious and not laugh, I asked her how Rooster got into her sparkley shirt and Belle said "I put her in it,... don't you think she looks soooo beautiful?... I wanted her to look fancy for bed!" As you may know, Belle can go from being in the real world to being in her world in the matter of a split second! That is exactly what she did in her confession. She forgot she might be in trouble, but who cared?...Rooster looked fancy and that was all the mattered to Belle. She is nuts! And I love her!
