A Bed and a Solution

 We have a problem in our house.  Jackson enjoys turning off the TV.  The button is not in a place that is easy to cover with tape, like I might normally do.  So it is a matter of trying to be consistent with the rules until he gets it.  James didn't have the patience for that, so he came up with  solution: make a bed, in a basket, that puts him in a position to block access to the button.  He made the bed, and then told me he couldn't see the TV-he was stumped!  So he solved it by asking for the tablet so he could watch while protecting the button on the TV.  I obliged, and congratulated him for solving his problem. Doesn't he look so pleased with himself?
 I declined to tell him that there was no need to guard the TV if he was watching the same show on the tablet.  Who could tell a face like this that his ingenious solution was entirely unnecessary?
