Hello? It's Erin. I'm awake!

So we have this really nifty baby monitor that captures video as well as audio. We like to connect the monitor to our TV and watch the girls play and talk and eventually fall asleep. Our intention was to keep the monitor secret well into their teen-age years and keep a close eye on them (we fully expect Ev to pull out the rope ladder from under her bead and climb out the window).

Well our plans have been spoiled. Erin has fully grasped the concept of the monitor and has started using it to her advantage. On Sunday morning we were awoken to the following,

"Mommy, Daddy, Hello? Can you hear me? It's Erin. I'm awake."

No shouting, no whining, just a civil conversational tone. She knows that we are listening and now she expects us to come running. Yet another parental planning backfire!
