kids are funny

Isabel has started reading alone in her bed at night and she will read books out loud to Ansel. One night after the kids had gone to bed, we heard Ansel saying, "Isabel, ISABEL....etc." He just kept calling her and was getting louder and louder and louder. (Sometimes they play around when they are supposed to go to bed and they don't answer when they are called, just to be annoying.) Anyway, I thought I had better go down and check it out. When I get down there, Ansel was out of his bed and standing two feet from Isabel's face shouting her name. I said, "Ansel, Ansel....do you see that Isabel is sleeping? Why are you calling her?" "Yes, I just wanted to know if she was done reading," he replied. I went ahead and let him know that if she falls asleep that means she is done reading for the night. ha ha ha.
