I think every day this week my kids have gotten up ten minutes earlier then the last. This morning we were up just as the sky was turning a dark shade of pink. After laying on the couch feeling sorry for myself (and tired) I decided that I could use all this extra time to try and be productive. Before the older two were even awake I had bread dough rising on the counter.
They all requested pancakes for breakfast, and since we had all the time in the world I obliged. Once their tummies were full, Camilla packed up her backpack and got herself ready for the bus NICE and early. We waved her off and then I stuck the bread in the oven. While it baked Finley threw a nice little screaming fit. He hasn't been sleeping well thanks to his molars coming in and he's had a couple off days. I was finally able to distract him with a snack and then I noticed him rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. We had to meet some friends at the park, but I knew he needed a nap.
I put him on my back in a double hammock wrap (his favorite by far) and he fell asleep within minutes. We were able to take warm cinnamon buns to the park to share, and he was able to get his snooze in.
With the wind and cloud cover the boys opted to stay inside for a while once we got home. While the big boys played, Finley found a nice cozy patch of carpet and fell asleep again. I have a feeling it's going to be a slow day!
