I know he’s only four,

and I know he’s overly tired.

But when he reacts this way and chooses to disobey,

it makes my heart hurt.

I can’t let him fall asleep mad at us.

I tell him stories about how I used to put kittens in my dollhouse,

and he eventually begins to grin.

We make peace, and I can now sleep.
