So I guess it's time to learn to work with it. He's really good, he doesn't get out of bed when he wakes. He sits there and not-so-patiently yells for me to come get him. "Mommy! Mommy! MOMMY!" This morning when I heard his beautiful song at 5:30, I decided to wait and see if he would lay back down. He did not. He got more and more persistant, and eventually got down in the floor and sat there calling me. "Mommy, come get me!" "Mommy, get up! Walk!" It was actually quite humorous, and I couldn't help but smile as I went up to get him. So then starts the new morning routine of me getting ready WITH toddler in tow. Not so bad really. The hardest part is keeping him and the dogs separated, because he wants to be able to go back and forth between rooms. And I was nervous about my shower, because I haven't showered with Eli up and about by myself in a long, long time. And we have a standup shower, so really nothing keeping him from coming in with me. But he did good, and just kept *checking* on me. :)
All in all, we survived. We got out the door about our normal time (about 10 mins late). Both properly dressed, with lunch and coffee. So I guess I should relish the extra hour or two I'll be getting with my little guy in the morning right? We'll see. But an earlier bedtime is definitely on the menu for me and Daddy now.
Oh, and I should give proper credit to a few of the things that helped get me through this morning, and I'm sure will be a staple for every morning from now on. Lord help us if the cable goes out.
And he must have this to play along with his favorite songs
