Playing The Guilt Card

Tonight Beeb talked AH into letter her sleep in the guess bedroom. An hour after tucking her in it was very quiet - too quiet. Beeb is our little night owl and often stays up playing for an hour or more after we tuck her in. The lack of sound tonight had me hoping I would find her sleeping but instead I found her watching TV with the sound muted! Smart Beeb. :-)

As I turned off the TV and tucked her in again she said to me, "Are you sleeping in here tonight?"

I laughed and replied, "No. Do I need to?"

"I might turn the TV back on," she informed me.

Ah the perfect moment for a dramatic pause as I looked into her eyes.

"Can't I trust you?" I asked innocently.

"Ooohhh!" she said in defeat.



UPDATE: With the TV option removed this is how I found Beeb after she finally fell asleep. She had snuck out into the hall, grabbed the library book basket and read to her hearts delight.
