We were sitting around after lunch discussing our plan for the day...this includes Eliana's nap and a possible time of rest for my mom-they arrived this morning from Virginia after getting up and out of their house very early.  We were talking about my less-than-conventional method of getting Eliana to sleep.  I drive her around until she conks out and then bring her home and put her in her bed.

My mom was...well, let's just say she was encouraging me to change my ways.  She said,"What do your friends say about what you do?"  I said,"I don't know...they say they've been there, too.  You gotta do what you gotta do."  My mom's response was,"You gotta do what they (your kids) get used to you doing!"  I said,"That's a good point."

Then I turned and looked at Eliana and said,"Who's the boss?" 

Her immediate response was,"Grandma!"

And that's that!
