Syona soaking up new learnings like a sponge

It's not all fun and good things when it comes to raising my daughter. Recently she learned a couple of new behaviors. First one is that some nights when I come home, especially later in the night, she has learned to great me with an enthusiatic "NOOOOOO". I'm pretty sure that this has to do with her associating me with putting her to bed. She is at the stage where Sleep is to be avoided at all cost when it's at home.... Not that she avoids going to the crib, but she likes to stretch it to as late as possible. There is a new routine where she wants to keep learning up to her bed time. She is interested in some of the new iPhone apps I downloaded that describes and shows pictures of different animals and also of the alphabet. She is definitely learning and growing up in that the bed time routine is not fun enough with just reading books- she now picks the books she wants to read at night (she likes the Rainbow Fish, and Good night SF is still okay), but some of the other books are too small/kiddish for her now. Same thing with the music we put on before bath time. She no longer wants to listen to the baby music from before that sounds too much like for babies; instead, she insists on the more musical and lively type of toddler music. Back to the other "not so fun" behavior, one morning she woke up with the demand for Dada to go down and get her a bottle of milk to start of the day... we got a good laugh that morning, because it was really like a demand, with a small push to go downstairs and get the milk (and it was specifically for Dada to go get the milk), this has been my morning routine for a while, but the efficiency in the demand itself was really something.
