Then, on Thursday night, she is back in our room, but this time it's mummy's make up bag! (oh yes....a very girlie girl, my daughter). Out comes the (Clarins) foundation and my favourite make up brush. The foundation is then painted on (a) the duvet cover, (b) the cast iron fireplace, (c) two books, (d) the end of the pine bed and (e) the wall. Oh...did I mention the carpet too? Exhausted by her activities she makes herself a little makeshift bed on the landing, and goes to sleep. (see photos below)
Naive mummy says - "No, we will not fix a lock on our bedroom door. I will explain to Laura how naughty she has been. I will reason with her." Laura agrees ahe has been naughty, and promises not to go into mummy and daddy's room again, if they aren't already in there.

Sunday night......Laura is caught on the landing with my Book Journal in hand. Now, she could have been browsing it for recommendations for a good read. However, mummy ain't quite so naive now. The bolt has gone on the door, and I have convinced myself that in years to come I will look fondly on all the childish scribbles in my journal...maybe.

Anyway, not actually linked to her nocturnal adventures, we are moving her bedroom down to the next floor over the next month or so. She has chosen pink for the walls.
