A midnight request for Jingle Bells

Did I mention that Ella fell in love with the song Jingle Bells at Christmas time? Well it became part of our bedtime routine, and it's still in the rotation, even though it's now March. Ella calls it "Jingle All the Way". As most 2 year olds do, she is working on perfecting her manipulation skills with Seth and I, and the other night she woke up in the middle of the night (it happens every now and then). If we got up and ran in every time she wanted us to, none of us would ever sleep. She stays in her bed, but cries from there and usually just calls out for Mommy or Daddy. The other night we heard: "Daddy sing jingle all the way." One of those moments that makes you smile but breaks your heart at the same time. We didn't honor the request, but don't worry, she was back to sleep in just a few minutes on her own.
