I’m barely sleepy

I’m on my way to bed at 10:15 PM on a Friday night, exhausted. I took Ellie in and she tells me she’s exhausted too. I check on Max and he sound asleep. I’m going on her head before going to bed and find her wide awake still. I said girl what is wrong with you why are you not sleeping? And the giggles just start. Her response,  “I’m just not sleepy; it’s my brain; it’s very busy!”

I laughed and told her I wished I could give her some of my sleepies and take some of her energy from her. She smiled and thought it was funny but said she didn’t want my sleepies. She’s laying in there happily entertaining herself in a dark room for well over an hour with her brain.

And she’s still laughing as I leave the room telling her to try to get some sleep because I’m going to bed. That girl is something else.
