Night moves

Mom and Dad looked so rested and relaxed when they came back from Chicago. That simply will not do, so I'm back to waking up in the middle of the night, wide-eyed and ready for action. This has been going on all week, but early on, I was getting up too late in the night, around 5 a.m. or so, and Dad would just bring me into bed, which successfully got me down for another hour or two. So I shifted things up a few hours, to the 2 or 3 a.m. hour, which has set the stage for another late-night showdown with my parents. Last night I got off easy because Mom came in and scooped me right up; tonight they've brought out the big guns (i.e. Dad). We've been facing off for about 45 minutes so far, and I'm not caving yet!
