Time management....

D usually sleeps 7:30-7:30. Just as evening routines have become smoother, it's the mornings that have become hectic. Lots of grumbling, whining, tears and theatrics. We are exhausted by the time we are out the door at 9am. sigh.

This whole week however, D has been up since 5:45am! When I ask her why, she says so she can play and do all the things she wants to in the morning!! At least she lets us sleep while she plays in the living room (she closes our bedroom door to not disturb us).

And of course I can't be mad as I get a gentle kiss on the cheek at 5:45am! I pull her into our bed and she lays in between us for half hour before getting off bed and playing/"reading" books.

And she gets herself ready! She brushes, potties, bathes/clothes and ready to go!

I am happy, I really am. Not however at 5:47am as I can't fall back asleep.

The bright side is that at least it's summer so the sun's shining by then! Or maybe the sun's the reason why D's up so early haha

her room has no window really... so it's not the sun... at least she is sleeping more soundly being that the room is dark and no city lights... Partly, I think it's a "growth spurt"! lol... she wakes up famished! Another problem, I love to have! Watching her eat with enthusiasm is such a wonderful thing! :D

oh and she gets all ready on her own!! I really shouldn't complain at all!! he he... but I remember even when we were kids, we would be up by 5:30am and be out the door for walks, play, and whatever else! Of course, D can't do that! :'(

I've always had super early risers and it's painful for this night owl! Especially the toddler who won't entertain himself at 5:45.
