(The title is from a Jimmy Buffett song)
This morning, at the crack o’dawn, our door opened. Soleil popped in and said "Mommy! I am going to watch the sunrise" I mumbled something and sent her on her merry way.
Between 5 am and 7 am Soleil:
- watched the sunrise
- got her milk sippy out of the fridge
- drew some pictures
- got dressed
- made her bed
- cleaned her room
- set out clothes for tomorrow
- did all of this while singing out of tune
Jay rolled over and asked me at some point if I slipped her some speed last night. I replied that HE put her to bed, I was the one who had Luna.
Last night, the Buffalo Sabres regained face and beat the Ottawa Senators 3-2. At least we won’t be swept. Now, if we can win one more game and make it s 6 game series, there will be some pride restored to Buffalo.
The pajama project started in earnest last night when I created a pattern based on my jammies. I first forgot to take the waist to crotch measurement into consideration and the first pattern had the crotch at my knees. After some good natured ribbing and passes from Jay, I fixed that.
The fabric is cut and I can start sewing tonight!
Wow – that’s one impressive young lady. Ours get up at 5 as well; only to much less constructive activity. Mostly making sure than Mama and Papa are awake, too.
Early riser! Wow!
I’m impressed! G can entertain herself if she gets up early, but there is no cleaning involved. Usually it ends with me coming downstairs and gasping “Ack! What happened here?” as I survey the results of her entertainment.
“Ghost in the machine”
Very clever!
