9. Ask for another glass of milk.

8. Hold your finger over the holes in the sippy cup, it takes longer to drink your milk that way!

7. Start a routine of saying "Night Night" to each and every one of your teddies and babies.... all 50 of them!

6. Retell the events of the entire day to Mom. Even if she was there during the day, she'll still listen.

5. Interrupt the lullaby with happy songs that have lots of motion to them, such as "Row, row, row your boat" of "If you are happy and you know it"

4. Giggle and laugh, Mom can't help but to laugh back at you.

3. Say you have "boogies" in your nose even if you don't... Mom falls for it every time!

2. Ask for more milk!

1. Tell Mom you love her and give her kisses... this will work over and over again. Mom is a real sucker for this one!

You have to save a copy of this for the future, it's too funny to forget about it!

Juliet has been using the saying "night, night" routine too since she was 2, but instead of stuffed animals, she says night night to the family pictures she has stuck on her wall.

MommyToAshley replied:
LOL! Too cute! Actually, that's a neat idea... and there would be less pictures than stuffed animals!
