Mornings in Our Household

I wake up very early because I sleep very early. Is 7:00 PM too early for you? I know it is hilarious but we do start going to bed that early. We might not sleep right away but we’re lying down with the lights off. There are a couple of reasons for this. One is my husband has to wake up at 3 in the morning and we have to be by his side for him to sleep faster – well, that’s what he says and I don’t want to argue anymore. Second, Z refuses to take a nap in the afternoon which I know is enough to drive any mother nuts. I have given up on making him take his nap in the afternoon because there were just too many instances in the past when I embarrassingly fell asleep myself while convincing him to take a nap and then waking up an hour later to find out that my poor baby is still beside me lying down but still very much awake. I know it’s just too cruel to make him take a nap when it’s obvious he got his genes from both of his parents who also refused to take afternoon naps when they were young. So I compensate by making him sleep really early in the evening so he’ll get his required sleep. The last reason is I like waking up really early because I have some time alone to do things I want without thinking about anything. It’s my alone time and I have grown to love it. As I’m writing this post I see the coming out from my window. It’s time to wake up my sleeping child so he can go to school. I turn on his favorite music and wakes up with a smile on his face. I’d like to think it’s because he’s had a full night’s sleep but on second thought maybe it was just him wanting to play his dad’s PSP. LOL
