peepers

As I tucked Audrey in for her nap I said, as I so often do, "Close your peepers." Audrey cheerfully replied,
"You want me to close my peepers because sometimes I wet the bed, right?"

I stopped to take in what she'd said. I thought of all the times I've told her to close her peepers, and all the times she's said, "Okay, Mom! I will!" and it broke my heart a little.

We had a chat to clear up her confusion and had a good giggle about it. Then she snuggled down, her eyes shut tight.
