Trickster

Daniel's becoming a little trickster - probably because he has such a good role model in David.

Every night, during the "say goodnight to Daddy" part of our bedtime routine, David tries to give Daniel a hard time about coming to sleep in our bed vs his crib. It usually goes something like this:

David: Daniel, will you come sleep in our bed tonight, pleeeeeease?
Daniel: No! I'm going to sleep in my crib, and you sleep in your bed.
David: Please, Daniel! When will you come sleep in my bed?
Daniel: When the light turns green, Daddy. Then I will come to your bed.
David: OK. Go to bed then!
And Daniel takes off to his room without any trouble.

Well, last night, David got duped. They were going through their exchange, and instead of telling David that he didn't want to sleep in our bed, Daniel said, "Yeah! I'll sleep in your bed tonight!" and took off running to our room. David looked at me as if to say, "Oh s***!" I said, "Well, you're gonna have to go get him. I'm not telling him that he can't really sleep with us." David started walking toward our room to get Daniel. He stepped through the bedroom door, and Daniel jumped out at him, cracking up with laughter! He totally tricked David (I guess me too) into thinking he wanted to sleep with us! Then he ran to his room for bedtime. Goober!
