My advanced pet's latest trick

After we had a quick snack after school, Ali and I had the following conversation:

Mommy: "Would like to go night-night?"

Ali: "Da-da-da-da-da-da-da"  (tried to get one of her toys from the ottoman and ignored me)

I asked again: "Ali, would you like to go night-night?"  (this time with sign language)  "Come to mommy if you want to go to sleep."

Ali:  (looked at me for a few seconds, crawled an inch closer and went back to her toys)  "da-da-da-da-da-da"

I asked one more time:  "Ali, are you tired?  Do you want to go night-night?"  

Ali:  (stared at me one more time) and started crawling really fast out of the living room.

I went to follow the speedy toddler and noticed she headed straight to her room.  Since the door is closed, she looked at the door and then looked at me like a little puppy.  I guess my advanced pet do know what she wants.  And last night, for the first time, when I offered to "po-po" (hold her in my arms) before she went to bed, she refused by turning away from me.  She NEVER refused to be held, she has NEVER wanted to stay in the crib if there is a chance to get out.  I guess Ali wants to sleep.  Nice, real sweet baby pie.  Ali, you are growing up WAY too fast for mommy!!

Here are a few pictures that I took last week when we were stuck home because of her upset tummy:

Ali really hated the wings that I put on.  She constantly tried to pull them off so it was a little difficult to take pictures of her sitting still.
