We noticed that her parents were sitting on the bench right next to us. Adam said to her mother, “She’s really cute.” The mother replied, “She’s a little bossy.” And then, yelling out to her cute little girl, she said, “Just go down the slide. Go down the slide, now!

The seven stages of toddler sleep (also known as Why I Don’t Let My Daughter Sleep In My Bed):

The heavy breathing stage
The sweating stage
The grunting stage
The continuous flip flopping stage

The final two stages lead inevitably to the awakening of the toddler, which, if you’ve experienced all seven stages, is always about an hour too soon.
