Every night before Abby goes to bed we have the same conversation. First she asks me when her Dad will be going to bed. I always answer soon and that seems to satisfy her. Then she reminds me to tell her Daddy to take her to bed when he goes. I always agree and she scampers off to her room. I'm not exactly sure where this whole thing came from, but it's been going on for the last month or so. It's quite a complicated process, but I'll try and simplify it for you.
Abby's Three Step Bedtime Plan
Step #1: Abby goes to sleep in her own bed.
Step #2: When Mike goes to bed he carries Abby from her bed to our bed.
Step #3: When I go to bed I carry Abby back to her bed from our bed.
This is what she wants us to do every single night. At first I thought she just wanted to sleep in our room, but whenever I ask she always turns me down. The plan must go off exactly as described above. Despite promising that it will be done, we have yet to do it. I mean, come on, she's 49 pounds. Have you ever tried to move 49 pounds of sleeping kid? It's not as easy as you'd think. The funny part is she completely believes that we do this every night.

Too funny. I just hope you've picked out your handbaskets :)
Hilarious. I'm glad I've got you as a companion in league of mums who dupe their kids.
