What would you do?
Behind this door lies one sleeping girl. One sleeping girl who, having foregone her regular daycare-induced nap, fell asleep at 6 PM, in the midst of a screaming "I'll kick the wall if I want to kick the wall and don't you dare move the chair away from the wall or I will diiiiiieeee" fit.
6 PM. Before dinner. Before teeth brushing. Before putting on a night-time pullup.
It is now approaching 9:30.
In the inimitable words of Dr Seuss:
"What would you do, if your mother asked you?"
Because I would much rather keep watching the Greatest Movie That Ever Was Ever Is and Ever Shall Be (aka Empire Strikes Back). But I have this fear of waking up to screams at 3 AM, screams accompanied by a soaked mattress. Would you do what I am about to dare- to risk waking the monster in order to secure the pullup?
Wish me luck.
Once more into the breach, we few, we happy few.

I have been right there with the "Do I try to get her settled for bed, or just leave her?" How did it go? Was it in fact the doomed charge, or did the Light Brigade have a happier ending this time?
I think EST is by far the best of all the Star Wars films - I use to get such a thrill hearing Han say, "I'm nice men."
How did the wall kicking end?
Oh criminy, that's Richard the fifth, Crispin Crispin's day speech, isn't it. Nerh. At least I recognized it as military-literary, out of the lumber in the mental attic...
@SarahCOG - :) I'm pretty sure I mangled the the last of the quote, anyway.
9:31 - wake her up. Why did I put her in those tight pants anyway? She did well, asked for a story.
9:45 - PJs on, pullup on, stories done, she happily said goodnight.
10:00 - Screamed
10:45 - Screamed like I was killing her cat because she needed a drink of water
11:00 - Silence?
6:30 - Awake. Sigh.
@SarahCOG - Henry the Fifth
which I only remember because of Kenneth Branagh.
Double Nerh. I did remember Kenneth Brannagh's face, I just couldn't remember which King's name went with the number. Glad she at least went back to sleep...eventually :}
