It has a groovy character that is cool but still nice.It has a SONG-wait, make that FOUR songs in it-and they can bring Ben's cheery smile back in a jiffy (and, the tune can be changed to anything else at any time, and the cheery smile comes back because he remembers Pete the cat and his favorite book when I sing it).
It is simple Ben has memorized all the words already. I LOVE IT! Why? It has all of my favorite parts of a children's book: I am going to buy it, and the other two books along with it. An hour! How was I going to fill that time?!īen has been telling me about this book for a little while, and I finally saw it at the library and grabbed it. I still had an HOUR before the sitter got here and I left to take the kids to school and work out. (At 7:36 AM, after being awake for 2 hours.)Īnyway, I'll spare you the details of the next hour and half as the boys and I woke up Lorelei (who, as always, woke up laughing as we all bounced on her to wake her up), made breakfast, and got everyone ready for their last week of school. My oh-so-unsympathetic response: "Choose to be happy and stay downstairs, or go back to sleep." It wasn't received well (can't imagine why). I am one of those annoying people who, even while in a funk, wakes up happy.īen trips down the stairs, half-undressed, already crying, with his "mad face" on. I love Ben, but MAN I cannot relate to waking up so sad and mad at the world. (If Kiefer's molars don't come all the way through today, I might take him to the dentist and ask for some assistance so I can sleep in for at LEAST 15 more minutes.) But at least the little guy wakes up happy to see me, seemingly appreciative of the time he gets to spend with just me, and nobody else.īut then I heard a certain door open at 5:24 and the "Mommy-mommy-mommy I need you come here I need you Mommy-mommy-mommy" (said in cry-y, whine-y voice) started. 
I've been in a funk the past few days waking up at 4:58 for the third day in a row did not help get this morning started off well.
