Last night after we got Lydia into bed for the night, there was the inevitable *click* of the door opening back up not two minutes after the kisses and bear hugs routine. I went to investigate.<\/p>\n
“I need fresh water,” Lydia said, holding out her sippy cup. The sippy cup of water is a bad habit we started a year or so ago in a fit of desperation when she wasn’t sleeping well. Never make serious sippy cup decisions under duress.<\/p>\n
“That is fresh water, sweetie,” I replied. “I just filled it up for you.”<\/p>\n
“No it’s not. I need fresh water.”<\/p>\n
“But it is fresh water.”<\/p>\n
No. I need fresh water. It’s not fresh.”<\/p>\n
“That is fresh water. You need to go to bed.”<\/p>\n
“But I need fresh water.”<\/p>\n
“That is fresh water. I filled it up for you just now. You need to go to bed.”<\/p>\n
“But I need fresh water.”<\/p>\n
“Do you want this cup or not?”<\/p>\n
“I need fresh water.”<\/p>\n
“Either you can take this cup or you don’t want it and I can have it.” Then I made to take the cup away.<\/p>\n
“No! It’s my cup!”<\/p>\n
I hand her the cup back.<\/p>\n
