oh, they're short nights... Those rascals start singing and rabblerousing at about... 6:45am. But that's nothing to the joys of twin infants who can't seem to agree on a feeding schedule!

Yes, lately, our three have been letting us know the Sun is up shortly after 6:00 AM

I keep hoping it's a phase... but after 2 years, that hope is fading fast But I figure pretty soon, the oldest (5 &1/2) will be able to put together cereal & milk without supervision.. and I can sleep a half hour longer:)

| Oh, it's probably a phase, all right, one that will last untill the teenage years when they won't want to get up before noon. And of course in the meantime you get to deal with kids who only want to sleep late on school days lol. I speak from experience: I was one of those children |

*sigh*
They seem, sadly to take after me: until I became a mother, I couldn't sleep past 8am (or go to sleep before midnight)... The last time any of them napped was some 3 years ago; now I need major java just to get through to 5pm!!
So, once again, the 'mommy curse' has taken effect: I have children just like me!

| The mommy curse isn't always such a bad thing though. If they are just like you, down to some personality quirks, then you can at least hope to have an idea of what they can get into. Best case scenario, you know exactly what they are doing at all times because you did the exact same thing at their age. (But I think that's just a myth. One can always hope, though ) |

Now that is a *scary* thought! Hmmm... well, alright, odds are good they'll be smart enough to imagine trouble and clever enough to get out or avoid it, then!
Right now, I'm just puzzling out how to support my dear daughter's blazing self-assurance without turning out a screaming ego...  Nothing harder to teach than humility and empathy  Hell, most grown-ups I know don't get it either...
