Princess Diary: Manipulation... what does that mean?

A few weeks ago, I moved into my very own bed in a room with my sister! We both used to sleep in the bed with Mommy and Daddy, but then Pea got her very own bed and so we moved everything all around and now we get to have slumber parties every night! At least, that's what I thought it was going to be like. I couldn't wait the first night! We went shopping and got new sheets for Pea's bed. I helped pick them out although I also saw some sheets that I wanted. Really cute pink ones with kitty cats. Mommy said maybe next time. (She says that a lot.) I really liked Pea's flower pillow though, so she was nice and traded with me so now she has my butterfly pillow. At first it was a lot of fun because I could giggle with Pea and plus I had all my friends in my bed with me! I had Diego, and Dora, and Swiper, and Boots, and my 3 doggies and my 2 ponies and my 5 hippos and then my other hippo who's kind of scary but I like him anyway and then Clifford and my 2 butterflies and my ladybug and my big sheep. There were probably some other friends too but those are the ones I remember. I liked feeling like a big girl in my own bed in my room, but then I woke up at night a couple of times and it was kind of scary. I could see in my closet and there were weird shadows and the room smelled different and I didn't know where my Mommy was. Even though I can go get her anytime I want, she usually puts me back in my own room and since I'm pretty sleepy there's not much I can do to stop her. I decided I needed to nip this new thing in the bud. So now, before I go to bed, I have been trying a few things out so that I get to sleep in Mommy and Daddy's bed again. First, I tried just going to bed in their bed. I thought it almost worked because we read stories in their bed, but then she moved me in to my bed to go to sleep. Next, I tried to ask her if I could sleep in her bed when Mommy wasn't really paying attention. This works a lot becuase I can ask her something and she will say yes and then when she realizes what I have asked her it's too late and if she goes back on her word she feels guilty so usually she gives in. She caught me everytime! I tried throwing fits too, but that just got me in bed with no stories. Since stories are my favorite, I didn't like that very much. Especially since we just got some new Berenstain Bear books and they are my really real favorite. My latest and greatest idea is pretty simple: be as sweet as possible. One time when I was asking for ice cream I told Mommy that she was my favorite and she thought that was the nicest thing I had ever said and I got to eat ice cream BEFORE dinner. So when she was putting me to bed the other night I gave her a bear hug and a special kiss and then I said, "Mommy, I really wish I could sleep in your bed because I just love you and miss you so much because you are my favorite." Then I looked at her with my best doe eyes that I learned about from cartoons. I could tell she almost gave in-she actually stopped tucking me in and said, "Well..." but then stupid ol' Pea had to mess things up by crying and breaking my spell so she got over it. Darn! I'm sure I will think of something.... maybe I can at least tell her that I refuse to go to sleep until I get those kitty cat sheets. Until I perfect my technique, I know that if I wait until Mommy and Daddy are really asleep, I can always sneak into their room and sneak into bed with them. Sometimes they don't even notice, and if they do they are sometimes too sleepy to care. Wish me luck!
