Dialogue as heard by a fly on the wall at 8:30 PM

Chatterbox:  I'm not sleepy.
Me:  I know.  But I think if we lay here in your bed and rest for a while, you will get sleepy.
Chatterbox:  Is kindergarten tomorrow?
Me:  Yes.
(a long silence)
Chatterbox:  What happens after kindergarten?
Me:  Your teacher will help you go to the right place to wait for the bus we looked at the other day.  You will get on the bus, and it will take you to play at Mommy's preschool where I work. 
Chatterbox:  What is that place called again?
Me: (I say the name)
(Chatterbox repeats it slowly) 
Chatterbox:  And you will be there?
Me: Yes, because that is where I work now.  
Chatterbox:  All the time?
Me:  All the time.  Every day that you have school, I will be there when you get off the bus.  I will be waiting for you.  As a matter of fact, you will probably see me waiting for you before you even get off the bus.  I will wave to you, and you will smile when you see me!  Then you will get off the bus and I will give you a big hug and ask you about all the fun things you did at school that day.  Then I will take you back to your class there where you can play until it's time to go home.  And if you want to peek in my room anytime after that, I think that would be OK. 
Chatterbox:  Do I have to take a nap there?
Me:  No.
Chatterbox:  Do I have to take a nap at kindergarten?
Me:  They have a rest time just like at your old school.  You don't have to sleep, but you do have to rest. 
 Chatterbox:  Do they have cots?
Me:  No, you will lay down on a fluffy towel that Mommy is sending to school with you.  The one I showed you the other day with your name on it.
Chatterbox:  Will the other kids have towels?
Me:  Yes.  Their mommies will send a special one to school with them too.
Chatterbox:  Oh (then a long pause).  What about a bell? 
Me:  A bell?
Chatterbox:  Yeah, a bell that tells you when to start.
Me:  Oh, yes...I imagine there will be a bell.  It will ring to tell the teachers when school starts and again when it's time to go home. 
Chatterbox:  Will it be loud?
Me:  Not too loud.  It might be a little loud if you are standing right under it.
Chatterbox:  I don't like loud.  Where are the bells?
Me:  I'll tell you what.  When we get there tomorrow, we'll look for the bells to see where they are.  Then you can always be prepared. 
Chatterbox:  OK.
(silence again) 
Me:  Do you remember what we learned at church today?  "A friend loves at all times."  I'll bet you will have a chance tomorrow to be a good friend to someone in your class.
(he seems to consider the idea silently)
Me:  I'm going to pray tonight that God will give you lots of friends in your class.
(He suddenly puts his head on my stomach and hugs me tightly)
Chatterbox:  Did I used to lay on you like this to go to sleep when I was little?
Me:  Yes.  Yes, you did.
Chatterbox:  I love you.
Me:  I love you too...so, so much.
