Congratulations on your top win in this contest, dear poetess, with a very thoughtful take on the prompt. It can serve as a reminder to many parents who have to deal with unruly low age children. Wish you a pleasant coming new week.

Children do not want to sleep as they are in a playful mood. But parents want them to sleep. Well done dear Anne. Congratulations on your trophy win.

This is an absolutely adorable footle to NA, so sweet. Pic reminds me of pillow fights with my bro who was just 18 months older and swung a fierce pillow. CayCay
