What would you do if your child was behaving like this?

Just put DS to bed for sheer naughtiness after being spoilt by his Grandma all weekend. He is jumping on the bed and turning the light on and no matter how many times I turn the light out and tell him to get into bed - he just wont. He is 5 by the way. I am not all that angry - yet. Obviously would prefer it not to get to that point. Has been going on for about an hour now. Help me please......

If it were dd (4.5), I'd leave the light on and give her a book to read. I'd tell her that if she didn't stay in bed there would be no TV and no computer time tomorrow.

Lemonade for breakfast!! Grandmas are brill at giving you a break, but you have twice as much work when you get your little darlings back. He'll calm down after a couple of days with no messing mum...
