Being a good listener

Last night, Elise was really fighting sleep, especially since Bryant was painting the office and she was so excited about it.  So I sat in her room to enforce her to stay in her bed.  I told her she had to stay quiet or I would lock the door (she hates this).  So as she is trying to fall asleep, she sporadically whispered, "I'm being a good listener" or "I'm not talking right now" or "Mama, don't talk".
