I was wondering why there is so much laundry to do all the time, and why Sarah uses so much.
Well, I knew Sarah likes to change clothes at odd times, and she's been wearing more than one shirt at a time for a while -- a long-sleeved shirt inside a short-sleeved shirt. Tonight, getting ready for the bath, she removed three shirts, and put on four afterwards.
Post script to the bedtime thing. Cathy never came downstairs. Sarah showed up once, tiptoed around, and went back up. At about ten of eleven, she came down again, smiling broadly. I went up with her and told Cathy her shift was over. Sarah continued to goof around. "Lie still, eyes shut," I told her, as I always do. "Stop talking," I added. Sarah said this was so hard to do, and kept messing around with stuff. She also said she was hot, and got the idea of removing the outermost shirt. I also suggested rolling the comforter down a bit.
She asked why Cathy and I like to stay up so late. I said it was because there were things we could get done when we didn't have to do other things. I didn't come right out and say that we could hope to get a thing or two finished when she wasn't looking to us for entertainment.
She finally dropped off at about 11:20.
