"Grace, are you ready to go to sleep?" Vigorous shaking of head and moaning. "But Grace, in the evenings when I ask you that you say yes. Sleep is good and you actually really enjoy it." Calm, looking at me and listening. "Sleep is good my girl, it is a time for you to rest and you almost always feel better after your sleep. It gives your brain a chance to process all the things you have been learning. While you sleep you learn to speak, and to read, and how to do puzzles. It is good to sleep and you have your whole life to be awake. You are very lucky that you get to sleep during the day. There are lots of people who would love to sleep during the day, but they have to work." Very calm, eyes heavy. "You know what else is amazing about sleeping? You get to dream, and when you are dreaming you can do anything that you want to. And do you know what is cool about dreams? You are in control of your dreams. You get to change them if you want to, you get to do exactly what you want to. Grace, you are in control of your dreams." Stand still for a minute or so, and put her down sleeping into the cot.
