Just go to bed!!

It's truly amazing the things that my child will do to delay bedtime. Let me replay our story this evening. We read a Spiderman book.
Me: "Like a spider, I can climb walls."
Owen: why can he climb walls?
Me: because that's what spiders do. "My fingers can stick to anything."
Owen: why can his fingers stick to anything?
Me: because that's what a spider can do. "I can swing through the city on a strand of webbing."
Owen: why does he shoot his web?
Me: that's how he gets around. "I can flip, dip, and whirl."
Owen: why does he flip, dip and whirl?
Me: (laughing) "I am strong enough to fight four bad guys at once!"
Owen: why does he fight four bad guys at once?

At this point I just gave up. He pretty much did that throughout the whole book. Then we finished and talked a little about what we'll do tomorrow. Now I'm downstairs and he's already been down here once. This is precisely why Katie has been in her crib since 3 months and will never be invited into our bed. I'm pretty sure Owen will still be coming into our room well into Elementary school. We'll see.
