The Drama Queen saga continues ...

Arabella is going through a particularly trying phase of being three. We were thinking that perhaps her behavior issues were stemming from a lack of sleep (she not only is waking early but often we can hear her up and running about long after bedtime, as late as 10:30). So two nights ago I told her at bedtime that she needed to Stay In Her Bed, not get out of bed at all until morning, when I come to wake her, and that we can hear her, so if we hear her running around we will have to come upstairs. After going over this, I said, "Do you understand what that means?"

She said: "Yeah, I have to tip-toe."
