Every night Annabelle and I sit in the rocking chair while she drinks her milk.  When she is finished, she hands me the bottle and says "Ba-bye".  My cue to put her in the crib and say goodnight.
One night as I turned to leave she said "Book!"  So I gave her a book, turned the light on low and left the room.  I stood outside and watched.  She turned through the pages a few times.  Then put the book aside and went to sleep. 
Now she asks for a book (or two) every night.  She stays up and reads her books and goes to sleep on her terms.
