Eliza and Alex were trying to get Phillip to go to sleep.

"Phillip! Bedtime!" Eliza called.

"I don't wanna go to bed," Phillip objected.

"Phillip, you need sleep or else you'll be tired in the morning," Alex told him.

"I'll be fine if I stay up a little bit longer," Phillip insisted.

Like father, like son, Eliza thought to herself. "Phillip, I know you don't think you need sleep but you do. What's it going to take to get you to go to bed?"

"Can you sing me a lullaby?" Phillip asked.

Eliza sighed, "That's all it took? Okay, Phillip, I'll sing you a lullaby. What do you want me to sing?"

"Twinkle Twinkle Little Star," Phillip said.

"Okay, but before I sing you your lullaby, you have to get ready for bed," Eliza told him.

"Okay!" Phillip went to get ready for bed, and when he was ready Eliza and Alex came into his room.

"Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are?
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are?" Eliza sang while Phillip fell asleep.

Alex stood there, falling even more in love with his wife.
