They are restless again.

This can’t be good. It is cracking on to 9pm. Why are they still awake?

There has been no red cordial. There has been plenty of quiet time pre - bed. We have followed the bed time routine to the letter but for the second time they have not gone straight to sleep.

9:30pm.

C’mon, already.

Go. To. Sleep.

Suddenly it’s quiet.

Are they asleep?

Creeping, creeping, shhhh, we don’t want to wake them…

What’s this?

Noah… you’re wearing a hat and sitting up with your sister, in the same bed.

Oh, she has a hat too, and some Little Golden Book reading material.

Oh and looky here, a tray, with two teacups and a teapot.

A ten o’clock teaparty!

At the wrong end of the day.

AAARRRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!
