The negotiations are amusing...I usually grumble a bit, and then give in to the pleading for "more water," stating, "ok, but then you have to go right to sleep, ok?" I usually chuckle the whole way down the stairs after tucking them into bed after letting them think they had gotten me that little bit.
You are right, Susan. We have to be diligent about keeping dangers to a minimum not only when they're kids, but until they leave for college or elsewhere. It's a balance, but as you said, the statistics are frightening so we do what we can to avoid joining that list.
