When Lily won't sleep

There are nights, thankfully few and far between, where Lily just does not want to go to bed. There are times when we are strict and continually go into her room to tell her it's time for bed and to tuck her in until she falls asleep, but there are nights, like last night, where it gets really late and she just can't sleep. She's not hungry, or thirsty, or even particularly whiny. She just, it seems, wants to be near us.

So last night we let her out of her room and she climbed into the beanbag chair. She requested a pillow, then a blanket (apparently my sweater was good enough), and dozed off as Tatus and I chatted quietly a few feet from her.
