What I love about Denver is that you can have a blizzard one day with 18 inches of snow in your front yard and the city basically shuts down, and 2 days later you can be sitting on the patio enjoying lunch with 6 inches of snow surrounding you in your shirt sleeves!  That is what I love about Denver!  

I am sitting here tonight WISHING that Abby would go to bed.  I am thinking of re-implementing the 4 B's that saved my life when Abby was a toddler.  What are the 4 B's?  It was the regimen that I put her on after putting that child back to bed 40 times one night.  And I am NOT exaggerating.   This is how the 4 B's work.  First, you must commit.  NO MATTER WHAT!  The 4 B's come before all else!  Then you pick a time for them to start.  Let's say 7 pm.  Here is the order:

1.  Bath

2.  Brush (teeth and hair) 

3.  Book  (one book of child's choice)

4.  Bed  (lights out and in bed by 8 pm EVERY NIGHT!)

The 4 B's saved my sanity, and it probably saved my kid.  Do you think that it would be over the top to start it on an 11 year old that won't stay in her bed??
