After getting up, turning on her light, and staying awake for another two hours, Daddy tried to rock Eladia to sleep. Here is an approximation of Eladia's thoughts.
"If I kick my leg back and forth against the arm of the chair, I think I can stay awake."
"If I squiggle around, I think I can stay awake."
"That's not working. Time for the big guns. I'll rear back, and then head butt Daddy's chest. That will surely keep me awake."
"Maybe I'll try kicking my leg again. It has to work this time."
"OK, this is not working. New plan. I'll fall asleep now, and then get woken by Daddy carrying me into my room..... that two minute nap should keep me going for another hour. Mwah ha ha ha ha."
"Boom! My plan worked like a charm. I.. am... the.... master. Now..... it's........ time.......... to........... get......................."
Once again, there was peace in the Neaderhiser household.
