I have zero help on weekday mornings, so optimizing my time and waking up in a decent mood is super important! The 2 big kids use digital clocks and don’t dare wake the grouchy mommy before 7! If they come in after 7 the lady that sleeps in Mommy and Daddy’s bed is so nice! Amazing!
BTW – #3 sleeps endlessly – up at 7 and I don’t think he should get up yet? No worries, he’ll sleep for another 45 minutes… WHAT an angel.
