Early Riser

Reid has spent the summer enjoying early mornings. We usually hear him by 6am. Sometimes earlier. This has been hard for us because a) we're up with newborns and b) just as I put the girls back from their 4:45am feed, he gets up.

Del usually gets up with him and lets me fall back asleep until around 7:45. This is much appreciated but it's not really a great sleep because Reid is running around, talking NON-STOP, and yelling outside my door that he's "waked up".

This morning was a classic. He came into our room, "hi Mommy". Crawled up on our bed. Crawled over me and laid down beside me with his nose about 4 inches away from my nose.

"Mommy sheepin (sleeping)?"

yes

"Mommy tired, wiiiiiiiight?"

yes, Mommy's tired

"Mommy want to go sheep, wiiiiiiiight?"

yes, Mommy would like to sleep. You should go and play with Daddy.

"Reid waked up, Mommy!"

yes, you are awake, now go and see Daddy

I look forward to someday sleeping in but do realize we're MANY years away from that luxury.
