Though you aren't sure why you have to sleep under the loft and not up there with him. :Are running everywhere.  Downhill has special sound effects. :Sign like crazy. In sentences and everything!  I should make a list... :Sing yourself to sleep. :Make scrunchy, kissy face. :Climb up and down the ladder on E's loft.
