Every morning as the dawn is considering cracking my children race to be the first to get in bed with us. Despite the early hours we have a lot of fun cuddling and talking about the dreams that were just had. Grant is like me and remembers many of his dreams, it's hit or miss with Katelyn and Dallin.
Thanks to our oldest we have had to set a few rules for our morning cuddling time,
1. if it's before 6am they are sent back to their room, but 6:01am is fair game. I am positive that some mornings Katelyn waits by her clock until it says 6:00 so she can be the first one there. Usually it's closer to 6:30 before we are bombarded.
2. if there is crying or fighting over who is in what spot, they are sent back to their room. Everyone wants to be by mommy or daddy but no one wants to be squished in the middle. it's hard to fit 5 people in a queen size bed especially since one of those people is still recovering from being pregnant with twins. and speaking of twins, if they are awake it's nearly impossible to fit everyone happily.
3. no wiggling or squirming especially if mommy and daddy are still trying to sleep... which is most of the time.
This morning Cameron was still working, and Peter decided he was done sleeping around 6:15am, and we had some time to smile and coo at each other before the other kids came in. and before long Lilly wanted to join in the fun and excitement.
The kids LOVE playing with the babies, We all love it, it's so fun to make them laugh and smile.
Dallin gets especially goofy with the babies, and they eat it up, they love watching him waiting for him to do something funny.
Most mornings are pretty great at our house... that is if you like waking up before the crack of dawn.. which we do... mostly.
