One and only

Gwenchik wakes up this morning, to check first thing if TODAY is her birthday.
Gwen: It is today, right?
Me: No, it is in 6 days
Gwen: But remember, I get to decided everything, except when to go to sleep, right?
Me: Right
Gwen: You are my one and only favorite MOM!

Definition of more human

From grandfather
Gwenchik is going to sleep (normally she has a duck and a sheep toy that she sleeps with)
Gwen: I do not want to sleep with stuffed animals, I want to sleep with something more human
We give her a stuffed panda, that is dress as a ballerina...
Gwen: Ok
and she immediately falls asleep.

Growing in my sleep

I am tucking Gwenchik in bed.
Gwen: Mom, I do not want to sleep
and she starts crying
Me: Honey, you should sleep because then your body would relax and your brain recover from all that you learned today
Gwen: But I GROW while I sleep. And I do not want to grow up, because when I grow up you will die. So I will not go to sleep!

Choices

From Grandfather
Gwenchik is organizing her newly arrived grandparents into a game:
Gwen: I will be mom, and you, grandpa, will be dad. My toy duck will be the baby. Now we can do anything we want, but he doesn't have choice.

After this, she started to force the duck to go to sleep. I guess, she doesn't like to go to sleep.

Husband

Third goodnight kiss.
Gwen: Mom, why don't you sleep with me? It is so lonely with just me and my sheep (her night toy).
Me: You know I can't because I sleep with Daddy.
Gwen: Can we buy him a sheep, so that you can sleep with me?
