Early Mornin'

Cycles of life, cycles of growth, cycles of sleep and cycles of WAKING AT THE BUTT CRACK OF DAWN AND THEN WAKING YOUR MOM, DAD, AND BROTHER!!!!!!! Sam has been waking very early, and after attempts beyond mentioning and crying and an hour of my trying to pretend he's sleeping next to me...I get out of bed with him. Ugh! This morning it was 5:30 a.m. and Arlo was awake nursing, then Sam started crying when I told him it as too early to get up, thus Arlo woke up entirely. Through his tears he said to me, "But Mommy, the sun is up". My response: "Yes true, the sun is up, but that does not mean you have to be!" So, here I am at 7:45 a.m. I have already made breakfast for us three, made a pot of coffee, folded some laundry, checked my email and my blogs....Arlo and Sam are playing in the playroom and watching "Wonder Pets". Here I sit half asleep and looking forward to the part of the day when I can pass the buck to Matt and take a nap! Happy 4th of July!
