Doctor Who Strikes Again

Little bear wakes up at 6am, regardless of when he goes to sleep. Yesterday he slept in until 7am. It doesn't matter if he goes to sleep at 6pm (not unknown) or 10pm - still the early call. So we work really hard at getting him an early night, and as long as he is quiet upstairs we don't police him too rigorously.

So last night we wrestled him into bed, negotiating several stories and his determination to read them and the usual games. Then OH and I trudged downstairs and OH watched Dr Who.

First little bear came downstairs dressed up as a knight. Then he came down dressed as a skeleton. Both times he was met by an unyielding 'back to bed and go to sleep!'. Except the second time he didn't go back to bed. He stayed, quiet as a mouse, holding the door to the stairs open just a crack and watching Dr Who through it.

Such classic behaviour! He still got chased upstairs to bed and got to watch it 7am today (OH is incredibly tolerant).
