The difference between waking up a few minutes early is that I can hang with Connor a bit before heading to work, rather than barely seeing him and dashing out. I'm willing to do it.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17379516286835897652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7241773904040790203.post-69123050832617556692012-02-03T00:11:55.403-05:002012-02-03T00:11:55.403-05:00Bedtime at our house is 8:00.

When do you need to get up to be ready for work and help your kids be ready? If your time is after 6:45, your kids are plenty old enough to get up and quietly entertain themselves in the morning. Telling an early bird you're going to get up early to play a game only inspires the early bird to get up earlier.Lindanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7241773904040790203.post-66471114464655012202012-02-02T21:47:52.881-05:002012-02-02T21:47:52.881-05:00you can not trick Connor

Seriously, aside from the biggies, my biggest stupid fear of having children was producing a child who wanted to be up by 6 am every day. Shudder. I'll take the battles at 10 pm any night of the week.AwwwTroublehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03551911306685907486noreply@blogger.com
