There's nothing quite like being awake at 5:38 on Sunday morning. I don't recommend it. I generally try to sleep in on Sundays, but some people I know do not.
It all started when this monkey woke up at 4:00 am. He's been partial lately to early wake-up calls, but this is his all time record. I tried to get him to go back to sleep. Oh, how I tried! There was patting and snuggling and a bottle and a binkie and rocking. For one hour and thirty minutes I tried.
Then this character joined the party. I knew there was no point in trying any longer. Putting one back to sleep is usually doable, but two at a time is impossible. She snuggled for exactly seven minutes and then said, "What are we going to do? A craft?" Try as I might I just cannot get my craft on at 5:38 in the morning. She proceeded to get out the pipe cleaners and "make an ornament" while Zach alternately snuggled on the floor on his blanket (each time getting my hopes up that he would go back to sleep) and unloaded the craft supplies from the bins (dashing my hopes to pieces).
If anyone is interested in a pipe cleaner ornament, I totally know where you can get one.
For breakfast, I had an extra large chocolate milk and Ibuprofen.

It my help to have a little snack in your stomach too to help limit damage to your stomach lining. I remember how much ibuprofen you take.
That is so cute! Tiring, and I have empathy for you, but cute.:)
