4AM

At 4:11am this morning I hear the pitter-patter of little feet coming into my bedroom. Corin had come out of his room (he knows how to take those door handle locks off, guess I can't keep him in his room anymore) and comes to me, "I woke up"and " I wake you up." Then starts chatting away, like this is the proper time to be up about his Piglet movie he watched last night and playing his fishing game. I had to explain to him that the sun wasn't up yet so he needed to go back to bed. I take him back to his bed and tuck him in (on his floor, he loves sleeping on his floor with all his blankets and stuffed animals). A few minutes later he gets up and comes back in my bedroom "I need a kiss and hug" so we give kisses and hugs and go back to his bedroom. A few minutes later he comes out again this time crawls up on the bed saying "I want to sleep with you" while he is getting all snuggled in on the pillow and pulling the blanket up to cover himself, however he isn't quiet at all. Still chatting away and is telling me all the numbers on the clock. It was cute though, he kept reaching his arm over to me and rubbing my face. So, we had to have another chat about it being time to sleep since the sun was not up. Then, he needed a drink of water, so we went into the bathroom and got one then headed back to his bedroom, got all tucked in and FINALLY close to 5AM all was quiet. I thought Declan was going to wake up since his last bottle was at 6:30PM so he was going to wake up soon to eat, which was going to be a total bummer for me, but he didn't wake up til 6:30am. Corin woke up at 7:30am saying "I'm all finished with my nap, the sun is up" I told him, "Yes, now you can be up."

  1. Maryn has a tendency to do that too but I can't convince her to go back to bed. Maybe it's because she's not even 2! Oh well. It just stinks when they get up so early and then you can't go back to sleep!

  2. Sorry Jenn you are going through the same thing with Maryn and can't convince her to go back to bed, being up at 4am is NO fun!! I told Corin that he can't be up til the sun is up and sometimes that helps. He'll tell me when he gets up at a decent hour, "I can get up because the sun is up." but it doesn't always work. The crazy thing is that he has been a stinker about going to bed and some nights won't fall asleep til 10pm and will still be up at 4am! Ohh the joys and craziness of parenthood!
