what a way to start the day

sarah woke up this morning at 6:15am, just after owen left for work and i was NOT ready to be up yet. i hear sarah knocking at her door (that means let me out!) so thinking quick i jump out of bed and go get her before she wakes up cecily. i put sarah in bed with me and tell her its still time for "nigh nights" she knows what thats means and lays down with me. after about 4 minutes of lying still which is super long for her, i hear a little tiny whisper..."cook-ie". and then a little louder but still a whipser..."cook-ie". and then she shouts at the top of her lungs "COOKIE!" trying not to laugh and encourage her i tell her i don't have a cookie and its time for nigh nights. so she settles back down and lies still for another 2 minutes. i'm dozing but still aware that she's now starting to wiggle her way under the covers. i'm almost fully asleep when i feel a very tiny and very cold finger poke my belly button! that was it, we got up, and what a way to start the day! i just had to laugh.

LOL, that is how Gareth is, every morning he wakes up, comes BUSTING through our bedroom door, roughly crawls up on the bed and in between Micah and I and giggles and starts singing his ABC's, or he will poke me in the eyes and say "Wake up Momma," and when he is tired of laying still after about 10 min he will crawl over my legs and off the bed and start pushing the covers off of me so that i will finally get up. Gotta love being a Mom!!!
