For all the posts I've made about horrible mornings, I have to post about the week long slice of heaven I've been experiencing. Tanner, or someone who looks just like him, has been a rockstar every single morning this week. I don't know if I have Daylight Savings to thank or what, but this kid of mine has been up and at 'em with a smile on his face for 5 straight days.
Can I get a halleluia?!
By up and at 'em, I mean he's up and dressed before I'm even out of bed. By dressed, I mean every single article of clothing - even shoes! Three of the five mornings, he's gotten his own breakfast - a first. All except one, he's taken the dog out without me telling him. One of the mornings, he got to watch a full 30 minutes of cartoons - that's how early he was ready to go. We usually have a No Screen rule for the mornings, but I was so completely floored by his behavior that I just nodded dumbly when he asked if he could watch cartoons.
I'm telling you, this is not my kid. But whoever he is, I like him a lot, and I hope he sticks around.
I bet it IS daylight savings... because Cayden has done the SAME thing!!! At first, I thought maybe it was a girl at school... but now I am thinking it is the extra sleep (since we have maintained the pre-daylight savings time)... ha ha ha... hope they keep it up! I am LOVING it!!!
ReplyDeleteWell, if scoring 30 minutes of illicit screen time doesn't motivate this to continue, I don't know what will! :) Glad you're having such pleasant starts this week.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy every minute of it! Tomorrow ----well-----Who know with kids! Take care!
