6:09

H's bedtime has always been around 8pm, and he would normally wake up about 8am. It was wonderful! After the time change, he would go to sleep between 7:30 and 8 and wake up about 7. Ok, I can handle that - it was actually sort of nice to have that extra hour in the morning. But this morning, someone came padding into our room at 6:09. 6:09!!! That is too early. Then I looked at the monitor and C was squirming around too. 6:09! C had some new toys in the crib and H had pulled out the under crib storage and found all sorts of fun things to play with!

So, when you wake up at 6am, by 8am (when we would normally be getting going) the little brother has already been nursed, big brother has already watched his morning shows, the yogurt (that was cooking in the crock pot over night) is already put away, orange marmalade is already cooking away in the crock pot, dishes are put away, breakfast has been eaten, a blog post has been posted, and little brother is already back in bed for his first nap of the day!

So, say a prayer for us that we all make it through the day in one piece! (I know that for some of you 6am is probably a great night sleep and maybe even late, but for our little family, it is a little earlier than we are used to!)

This week:

We have had a sick little boy - random fever, this is H snuggling and sleeping at 6:30pm.
(He is not really a snuggler and hasn't been rocked to sleep in almost two years!)

A little morning music and exercise.
C thought the sound of the bells was hilarious, he kept laughing every time they rang!

C started sleeping in the big crib!
I wasn't quite ready for this transition, but he was a little too active in the night for a small rocking cradle. He needed to have more space, and a stable place to sleep. The boys are also sharing a room now. I hope that we won't wake up one morning to find both of them asleep in the crib...

And this morning at 6:09...
You can see the under crib drawer pulled out and C's little eye peeking at you from the crib!
Even though it was a little early, these are very cute faces to wake up to - no matter the time of day/night!
