Girls like to talk...

I was putting Katelyn to bed the other night, and she thought she wasn't tired yet. She then started telling me stories about the pretend bath her Mickey doll was taking in her bathtub. She has always been a talker, but this time she explained why. She told me "Girls talk a lot, Dad. And I'm a girl. I have a lot to say." I told her that was great, but if she wanted to keep talking, then I had to leave. If she wanted me to stay on the floor next to her bed for 4 minutes (because she's 4 years old), then she'd have to zip it. This worked, and very soon she was out like a log.
