Usually, the girls are up before I am. Perhaps they have superhuman hearing and can hear the daylight breaking on the other side of the horizon. It's quite amazing. Put them to be at 7pm, they're up at 545am. Put them to bed at 9pm, they are up at 545am. Anyway this morning I was able to get a little sweet revenge. I woke up early and got ready for work this morning and the girls had not yet stirred from their slumber. I rubbed their backs to gently wake them up and then turned the light on.
"Daddy I love you this much all by myself!" said Chloe with outstretched arms.
"Good morning baby... Are you ready to go to school?" I asked.
"UH HUH!" she said excitedly.
I turned to Emma and saw her smiling behind her red hair which was hanging like a shaggy coat over her eyes.
"Come on Emma let's get dressed." I said.
She arched her back and looked up at the Cinderella alarm clock perched on her dresser.
As she flopped back down on her pillows she mumbled "Awwwwwwwwwww Dad - it's 25 in the morning..."
I love the cute way you are starting to tell us what time it is.
