When it comes to waking up for my girls, it's a flip of a coin. Sometimes they wake up full of smiles, cuddles and kisses. My favorite! But other mornings, they can be super grumpy and not want to have anything to do with anyone. Which can make it difficult for breakfast, and getting them ready for the day. J doesn't really like to eat right when she wakes up anyways, and we try to make sure the kids are fed before going to grammy's. One less thing for her to worry about. So we've been waking them up earlier in hopes that J will eat more before going to grammy's house. It doesn't always work because she'll sit there and play with her food for 20 minuets before she starts eating it. Of course, K scarfs her food down and is done in 5 minuets. She's completely ready to go in about 15 minuets. Jocelyn is a little more difficult to get ready since she won't. Sit. Still! At least with D anyways. When I get her dressed she cooperates very well. HA!
This is how wake-ups went this morning:
D and I both woke up about 5:30 and had our breakfast. Well at about 5:55, I walked by the girls room and saw J stretching and stood there and watched for a few minuets. Watching kids stretch is funny. Well she poked her head up looked at me half lidded and had a big 'ol cheese grin on her face. I smiled back and she stood up with her arms out. I guess it was time for her to get up. She was all snuggles and I indulged. I took her to my room only because I didn't think it was quite time for her to get up, and I don't mind her snoozing in my bed for a bit, if that means she'll stay quiet so K can get some more sleep.

K on the other hand was like the living dead and didn't want to get out of bed. She wasn't grumpy per say, but really mope-y. She never shows me attitude. Which is a good thing. Too bad it won't last but a few more short year.
"Mooooooom. I'm tired!" I told her she could go back to sleep when she got to grammy's if she wanted to. She probably didn't. Her and J are probably driving grammy nuts while I drink my coffee and assist customer with their commercial kitchen equipment spare part needs. *derp*
Anyways! YES, J still has a bink. We're weaning her off a little at a time. She's supposed to only get it for naps and bedtime, but not everyone is on the same page as me. One word, FRUSTRATING. I've also been thinking about converting her crib to the daybed, and put in a side rail to keep her from falling out. I don't know if WE'RE ready for that though. I can just see her getting up in the middle of the night and destroying all her books. I guess I could invest in some book shelves I could mount to the wall and out of her reach. But that would require D to assist me and him and I don't do home improvement projects without projectiles being heaved at each other at some point. After all, I still have curtains to hang, a canopy to hang and some other MISC things that need to be fixed... ugh. Maybe someday.
Oh and on a side note, I got almost NOTHING done of my goals this weekend. I was stuck at the in-laws on Saturday while D fixed his brother's computer. It took all damn day and I guess I had to be there. *shrugs* I did the laundry Sunday (that's all I had motivation for since we had company over and went to the in-laws again that night for dinner), folded it, and am awaiting D to put it away since he volunteered he would since I carried, loaded, unloaded, loaded, unloaded, carried and folded all 5 loads of clothes. It's Tuesday. I put away the kids clothes, but our clothes are still in the baskets. *sigh* One of these days, D, one of these days! Right to the freakin moon!
I'm thinking next week I'm going to talk potty training. I personally have lots of questions and concerns. Tomorrow is weigh-in Wednesday! Tomorrow I'll be talking about the 30 Day Shred that I'll be starting tonight!!! I'm excited and scared. Yes scared.
Till tomorrow!
Digg it!
