So you've been up since 4 a.m.?

(1/4) > >>

Shoo:
Why, yes!  Yes, I have.

It seems that Shoo Jr. (6 years old) woke up and discovered that Santa had visited, so decided it was time for everyone else to get up too.

Dh just groaned and said "No way" and rolled over.  If I, however, am awakened after getting 6 hours of sleep, I cannot fall back to sleep no matter how hard I try.  So I am up.

DD has fallen asleep on the couch.  This, after having bounced off the walls for the past hour.  Her eyes were as big as saucers when she saw the presents under the tree.  But I was firm in my resolve that we would be waiting until it was at least daylight to open gifts.

Yawn.

IndianInlaw:
Enjoy it while it lasts.  It's pushing 9 here and my son is still asleep.

Kitty, however, was up early waiting for breakfast.

Suze:
I feel for you -- DD gets a nap and you don't -- I see an early bedtime for the Shoo household.

I've been up since 5 myself (does anyone know how to reset a furry "alarm clock"?)  Dumb CAT decided that I HAD to be up (I know, not a human child, but mine just the same) and she will not quit pestering till I am out of the bed.  Ever had a whisker stuck up your nose?  Trust me you wake up QUICK!

Have a great day Shoo "the Wonder Years" don't last long anymore.

Oh and keep a record of them so you can embarrass her with them when she is dating ;)  This is always a "fun" game at our house.  It helps when the boyfriends parents are there too, so they can get in on the game.  

The rules of the game state that the child must start the game with the phrase "I remember when....." after that all bets are off, and any story may be told.  It also helps when relating tales of stuff that "you got away with" if the "statute of Limatations" has run out. (I.E. telling about high school pranks AFTER you are married)

reset a furry "alarm clock"?)   I've got one of those too. He likes to go mountain climbing on the desk that I have crossing as a dresser/vanity. That things has milk crates on top for storage, and he likes to climb those, climb up to my vertical jewelry box and try to get on it to kill the marabou trim on my lamp. Every morning my alram clock hits the floor at least two times and he knocks ALL After I toss him off he waits until he thinks tht I am asleep again (about ten minutes) and goes again. It is like the fuzzy ugly snooze button.

IndianInlaw:
If I don't get up..kitty starts climbing over the houseplants.

They're not poisonous, but he has a thing for my asparagus fern.
