Samuel has been in the habit lately of getting out of his bed after we've put him in there and turning on the light and playing. It's been an aggravation for his tired Mommy and Daddy but we've tried to be consistent in training him to obey.

He is so sweet. Seth gets up lately with every excuse under the sun... er... moon, too.
