It's still dark out.

I value my sleep and even more so when P is gone on his trips. The past few mornings D has been waking about around 6:15 (45 minutes earlier than usual). I have explained to both kids that "Mama just doesn't wake before 7:00." Call it lazy, whatever, I am just not a morning person. Never have been, never will be. T gets this. He has a clock in his room and knows if he wakes up earlier then 7:00 he will just turn his light on and play quietly.

Usually when D wakes up he just calls out my name. Today I heard it over and over and over. Finally after awhile he gave up and started calling "Ty-ier, Ty-ier, Ty-ier." I had to laugh and give him points for trying.

Now if I could just train my 6 year old to lift his brother out of the crib, make him breakfast and set up the DVR....I would be set.
