When 6:45 rolls around

Lucy rarely naps anymore (because then she's up till 10pm). She does pretty well though and often hits that second wind right around bedtime...and starts jumping off the walls. Tonight however, went something like this:
L: "I want to watch my show!"
Me: "Nope, it's time for stories and then time for bed."
L: "I don't want books!"
Me: "Okay, then you can just go to bed without reading any books."
- no comment -
- more crying-
Walks into her room and exclaims, "I want to go to bed!"
Climbs in her bed and pulls up her blanket.
(in between sobs), "Can you turn off the light please?"
"Where's my rag?"

And, scene.
Both kids are in bed, asleep, and it's 7pm. What a wonderful night!
