Little Sneak

On Monday night, we had put little bug to bed and I was downstairs watching the Bachelorette. Keep in mind that during the day, when little bug wakes up from her nap she'll sneak down the stairs and hide behind the wall that separates the kitchen from the living room and will watch TV if it is on and then she'll sneak around the corner to jump out at us. So on Monday night, I see a shadow for a second. I thought it was daddy because little bug has never come downstairs on her own at night.

When I didn't see daddy, I crept around the corner and there was little bug standing in her hiding spot with eyes as big as saucers since she didn't know if she was in trouble or not. I couldn't help but laugh and she jumped into my arms and said "I made you laugh mommy." Then she looked at the TV and said, "look mommy it is princess Ali and her other Prince Charming."

It was so funny. I had told her weeks ago that the Bachelorette was actually called Princess Ali as she tried to find her Prince Charming after she had gone to college and had a career. She clearly remembered. I took her upstairs and figured that since daddy hadn't heard her that he might be in the shower, so I told her she could sleep with me until she feel asleep and then she had to go to her room.

Of course, daddy was VERY surprised to find out that Little Bug had sneaked past him, and was even more surprised that she was going to sleep with us since I already promised her. Luckily it was a one night only deal - on Tuesday night when we put her to bed, we quizzed her. We asked her if she wakes up, what will she do? And she smiled and said, "stay in my bed and close my eyes and go back to sleep. I can't watch Princess Ali."
