"Are We Not Going To Be In A Hurry?"

...So the story is this-Since Greg moved up here he has taken over the job of getting up with Skye (*)in the night and waking us up with the alarm clock. Well for some reason we would not get out of bed until 7:15 or sometimes even later and with Jacey needing to be to the bus by 7:50 we were *always* in a hurry! I would have to set a timer for her to try to beat for getting dressed, eating, grooming, etc. I would tell her at least 5 times that we were in a hurry cause we did not wake up early enough.

So Monday night she asked me if she could wake up with my alarm clock. At first I said no that we would wake her up, but then I thought what harm would it be. We set the alarm for her at 6:50. As we were walking out of the room she asked "So does this mean we wont be in a hurry Mom?" Sure enough she woke right up and we were not in a hurry at all and we had pleanty of time to eat and get dressed at a Jacey pace. :) We should have done this a month ago and saved very many frantic mornings of running around and yelling "Hurry Jacey you are going to miss the bus!!" Go figure.

(*) Note to all moms...Make a deal with dad early in parenthood that you will get up as many times as needed while the baby is breastfeeding, but as soon as the child is on formula/bottle and for the rest of their childhood dad gets up with them. Make this deal in the middle of the night after your 3 feeding with baby and he is half asleep and feels bad that you have only slept 2 hours :)
