Bed time requests

Current bed-time routine here is that I lay with Zaine for 5 minutes and then I get up and let him fall asleep on his own. It's made bed time soooo much easier for me. It took a couple of weeks of him crying for up to an hour, but I'm so glad we stuck it out. I mean, really, he's two! Anyways, without fail, when I get up and tell him good night he tells me, "I need Dada." I tell him I'll let Dada know (and I do!) but I don't send Dada in. He'll go to bed on his own. On Tuesday nights, El puts Z to bed and he does the same routine and says, "I need Mama." Well, on Friday, I had an Origami Owl party I was working so when El put Z to bed I wasn't around but Savannah was. So, when El left the room he told him, "I need sissy. " Awwww.
