I was awoken by a 5 year old telling me he needed to pee at 5:30am. Just as I got back to sleep, the baby woke up, fussing in his room. I stuck the paci back in his mouth and patted his butt for a few minutes. That didn't work. So, I threw him (not quite literally) in bed with hubby and I. Again, just as I was almost asleep, the 5yo came back, “uh, momma, I’m pretty sure it’s time to wake up now. Right?”. A quick look at the clock, confirmed that it was not even close to time to get up (hello 6am). I growled at him to get back in his room. Tried to get back to sleep -again. Awoken by baby smacking me in the face. But then he smiled, nuzzled his head under my chin, sighed with contentment, kissed my cheek and said, “wub ewe”. Then the 5 year old came barreling back into the room, hurdling himself onto the bed. Screaming, "good morning, Momma!!!!!!!!!!".
So I sighed and got up.
It’s was 645.
I wouldn't change it. Except maybe the time. A couple hours later would have been fabulous. But, still. I'll take it.
Happy Christmas Eve, friends!
Today's lesson: Kids don't care that parents have the opportunity to sleep in. They just don't. Deal.

Indeed they don't care... first morning off this morning and we were up and dressed by 7.00am! Hoping he's so tired tonight that we can have a lie in, in the morning - probably not!

Soo true...Ant couldn't care less if it was 5am or 8am. When he is awake he is awake.
Hope you had a great Christmas with your boys.
Hello from ICLW! I love your blog and your story. And I guess having the kids wake you up is just par for the course.
Yup, I go through the same thing in my house with my 3 little ones. Lickily, if it's still dark, I can manage to get them back to sleep on the floor next to my bed...mostly. Happy ICLW! And happy 2012! I have a giveaway you might like to enter: http://stressfreeinfertilityblog.com/2011/12/19/injewels-giveaway/
