That is funny! Caleb started pulling the, "can you change my diaper?" to stall...it is pretty funny.
Oh, I am so glad we do not have much of that anymore. I think I've become more mean with my old age or something. Or Trinity is just a good sleeper. She rarely pulls stall tactics. Sam, well, that could be another scenario.
