Come on Mommy

He learned "Come on" from his friend Elizabeth. He has used it nearly every morning for over a week now when he gets up. I've tried "Come on Daddy, Mommy's sleeping" but he won't be swayed. Now when he's falling asleep and I sneak out the room if he turns over and opens his eyes and doesn't see me, he says "Come on Mommy." It's the cutest thing, like he's inviting me to get into bed with him.

I haven't had too much more success with "nana all gone," but last night during a 2-hour teething Oh Yeah I'm Really Awake Now marathon "nana is sleeping" did work. Unfortunately he still wanted to cuddle. In his bed. And it took at least an hour to get him back to sleep (after half an hour of toddler tossing to the sounds of "other side Mommy" and then Mommy needs to wee, Johnny needs to wee, Mommy's getting Johnny some milk out the fridge, Johnny's raiding his toy shelf... aaagh! But yes, after "nana sleeping" he accepted that, and cuddled to sleep. Such a pity he didn't pay any attention to "Mommy's sleeping Johnny sleep too." Sigh.
