Happy Early Mornings

My child is a morning person. She always has been despite our efforts to change it. We've tried keeping her up later, and all that jazz. (Numerous times) On trips when she gets no sleep she still wakes up at the crack of dawn. Don't ask me where it came from, cause neither Adam and I love the mornings. It's hard to be annoyed getting up between 5:30-6:30 (If I'm lucky), because Gabe is SOOO happy. She calls out for me in the morning, "Momma! Mom!" I walk half asleep into her room, She gives me me this huge cheese and says. "Hi Momma!" She then begins to ramble about all of her toys she sees and tells me, "Daddy na nigh, SHHH!" We have to talk about how Daddy is home, but is asleep so we should be quiet. We sometimes play this game where she won't get out of her crib until she has been tickled like crazy. She tells me," Daddy happies. Momma happies. Froggy happies. Cookies happies." etc. (She tells me all the things that make her happy-every morning it changes. It always begins with Daddy and cookies usually end up in there.) She is ready to go from the moment she wakes up. She wants to play with toys, read books, watch a show, and eat some food. So we play, and cuddle and watch shows and munch. She loves it when it is time to wake up Daddy so she can jump on him and have him tickle her. So even though I'm not a morning person, Gabe makes it worth it. I love spending time with her, and she makes the early rising worth it.
